history

The place name Porąbka is a diminutive form (suffix -ka) of Poręba (German "forest clearing", "clear cut"). In 1390 the village was given by Abraham von Wojków to the Kraków bishop Johann III. Radlica sold and then belonged to the goods of the town of Sławków . Originally, the village also included the later settlements Kazimierz (Górniczy) , Niemce or Ostrowy Górnicze and Maczki.

The place between the black and white Przemsza belonged administratively to the district Proszowice or Kraków in the Krakow Voivodeship in the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), but the village was in the Roman Catholic parish in the Upper Silesian city ​​of Mysłowice parish in the 19th century.

In the course of the Third Partition of Poland , Prussia became part of New Silesia in 1795 . In 1807 it came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the newly formed Russian-dominated Congress Poland . In 1827 there were 100 houses with 577 inhabitants and around 1880 with the Grabie and Smiejka colony 134 houses and 1065 inhabitants. The place was in the Polish or Dombrowaer coal basin . Edward Gierek , first secretary from 1970 to 1980 and thus party leader of the Polish United Workers' Party , was born there in 1913 .

After the end of the First World War it became part of Poland. In 1921 the village of Porąbka in the municipality of Olkusz-Siewierz in the powiat Będziński of the Kielce Voivodeship had 181 houses with 3392 inhabitants, mostly Polish (3365) Roman Catholics (3262).

During the attack on Poland in 1939, the area was occupied by the Germans and assigned to the district of Bendsburg in the new "East Upper Silesia".

In 1959 a tram line was opened, today part of the tram in the Upper Silesian industrial area . During the People's Republic of Poland Porąbka received city ​​rights in the Katowice Voivodeship in 1964 . In 1973, under Edward Gierek, it was initially incorporated into the town of Kazimierz Górniczy, which was annexed to Sosnowiec two years later.
