history

The place is in the Arwa landscape , which belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918 . It was founded between 1584 and 1588 on the initiative of Francis I Thurzo . The first settlers mostly came from Poland. The name is derived from fires on local moors .

From 1651 the local Catholics belonged to the parish in Orawka , in 1787 the local parish was established (in the diocese of Spiš , since 1920 diocese of Krakow ).

In the 19th century, Slovak became the language of the church and schools, but the local Gorals spoke Goral , a dialect of Polish descent. In 1897 Polish activists started national agitation. In 1910 the Hungarian administration followed the Polish request for the first time in the census and Goral was considered Polish. In that year Piekielnik had 1239 inhabitants, 16 of them Hungarian-speaking, 4 German-speaking, 7 Slovak-speaking, 1212 foreign-language (97.8%, Polish-speaking), 1228 Roman Catholic, 11 Jews.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the community became part of the newly formed Czechoslovakia. Due to the Czechoslovak-Polish border conflicts in the Arwa area, the place was assigned to the Second Polish Republic in 1920. Between 1920 and 1925 the community belonged to the powiat Spisko – Orawski , from July 1, 1925 to the powiat Nowotarski. In 1921 the community had 295 houses with 1081 inhabitants, of which 1074 were Poles, 3 Jews, 4 of other nationalities (mostly Slovaks), 1074 Roman Catholic, 7 Israelite.

From 1939 to 1945 the village became part of the Slovak State .

From 1975 to 1998 Piekielnik was part of the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
