history
In the first half of the 14th century the village of Libertas Pelcze (Wola Pelczowska) was founded to the west and was mentioned in the years 1348 and 1349 as a parish in the Peterspfennigregister of the diocese of Krakow . Shortly afterwards the parish church was destroyed by the flooding of the Dunajec. It was then rebuilt on the Jodłówka Hill ( jodła - fir ). The parish was named after that in three ways: Jodłówka (first mentioned in 1407), Pelczowska Wola and Pińczów , but in 1916 the parish was finally mentioned on Szczepanowice (1408, the patronymic name is from the personal name Szczepan with the suffix - ( ow) ice derived), while Jódłówka remained just a hamlet of Szczepanowice. Around 1460 the Dunajec changed its course and separated Pelczowska Wola or Wola Pilczów (from the 16th century Pińczów ) from Jodłówka and Szczepanowice . On the river island between the older course of the Dunajec in the west and the new one in the east, today's village of Isep was built , which absorbed the old Wola Pelczowska or Pińczów and Szczepanowice Dolne or Zawodzie .

Politically and administratively, the village belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Sandomir Voivodeship , Pilzno District . From 1489 until the middle of the 19th century, Szczepanowice belonged to the Chrząstowski family of the Zadora coat of arms. During the Reformation , some members of this family changed their denomination to Calvinism in 1568 . In 1573 the local church on Jodłówka Hill became a Reformed House of Prayer, but it was destroyed after 20 years. Thereafter, Calvinists and Catholics formed separate churches. The Protestants opened a school in Pińczów (not to be confused with Pińczów in the Świętokrzyskie , also a center of the Polish Reformation). In 1651 the prayer house and school in Jodłówka were closed and opened in new buildings in Szczepanowice. A Calvin cemetery was also established there. Szczepanowice was then given the character of a town and became one of the most important centers of Calvinism in southern Poland and the local school was also attended by the sons of the Scottish merchants from Tarnów and Protestant youth from Hungary . The prayer house burned down in 1713 but was rebuilt in 1786. In 1808 or 1809 the Reformed congregation in Jodłówka and Szczepanowice perished completely, or according to other sources it was not until 1852 when the Chrząstowski family sold the goods to Serwatowski and moved out of Szczepanowice.
During the first partition of Poland , Szczepanowice became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804).
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Szczepanowice became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
From 1975 to 1998 Szczepanowice was part of the Tarnów Voivodeship .
