history

The place was created around 1800 north of the village Sknyliw along the road from Lviv to Przemyśl. 24 German families from Bohemia and Moravia were settled there. In the years 1847-1850 the first Roman Catholic church was built (since 1991 Orthodox).

In 1900 the municipality Sygniówka had 105 houses with 691 inhabitants, of which 469 were Polish-speaking, 198 German-speaking, 19 Ruthenian-speaking, 606 Roman Catholic, 29 Greek Catholic, 43 Jews, 13 of other faiths.

After the end of the Polish-Ukrainian War in 1919, the community became part of Poland. In 1921 it had 313 houses with 2083 inhabitants, of which 1753 Poles, 211 Ruthenians, 44 Germans, 75 Jews (nationality), 1550 Roman Catholics, 332 Greek Catholics, 37 Protestants, 6 other Christians, 158 Jews (religion).

The place was incorporated into the city on April 11, 1930.

Another Roman Catholic church had been under construction since 1931, which remained unfinished until 1939. It has belonged to the Greek Catholic Church since 1991.
