history
In the 12th century the area belonged to the Benedictine abbey of Tyniec , so the first unreliable mentions appeared in connection with this. The place was along the Via Regia and an important trade route ran through the city from Krakow to Hungary. In the middle of the 13th century, the Benedictines built the first local church. In 1328 the place was transferred to German law by the Benedictines. In 1354, King Casimir III awarded the great the place the Magdeburg law and raised it to the royal free city in the Voivodeship Sandomir . The name is probably derived from the felt produced in the place (Polish "pilść" or "pilśń"), another popular hypothesis says about the transfer of the name from Pilsen settlers to Bohemia .
During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Pilzno became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). From 1855 Pilzno was the capital of the Pilzno District .
After the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Pilzno came to Poland in 1918. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . About 800 Jews lived in Pilzno, they were ghettoized with the Jews from the surrounding area in June 1942 and deported to the Dębica ghetto .
From 1975 to 1998 Pilzno was part of the Tarnów Voivodeship .
