history

The place was first mentioned in 1367 as Wiczdzite cum libertate ipsius Prohocinensi . The name, originally Prokocin, was derived from the personal name Prokota , initially with the suffix “-in”, later also “-ino”, from the 15th century “-im” (possibly based on the model of Okocim ). In the late 14th century, the German surname Prokendorff appeared for a short time . Two places had been founded in the 1360s, the Vorwerk Allodium Prokendorff of January of Prokendorf of Lower Silesia and the village of Wola Prokocimska ( libertate (...) Prohocinensi ) north of Allodium Prokendorff the stream Drwinka. Both places grew together before totam villam Prococzyn was mentioned in 1402.

For several centuries the Vorwerk belonged to knightly and later to bourgeois families. From the 16th century it was owned by the aristocratic families Tarnowski , Ostrogski (1595 Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski ), Zasławski , Lubomirski and Sanguszko .

The majority of the population was Roman Catholic (759); 18 Jews also lived in the village .
