geography

The place is on the Grajcarka stream (formerly Ruski Potok ) between the Sandezer Beskids ( Beskid Sądecki ) in the north and the Pieninen in the south and between the city of Szczawnica in the west and Jaworki in the east.

history

The place is located in the so-called Lemkenland , in an enclave furthest west on the Polish side of the border, although it bordered the Russian / Lemk villages Veký Lipník and Stráňany in the south . The first Lemk village in the east of Poland was Wierchomla Wielka . This enclave, called Ruś Szlachtowska by Roman Reinfuss , comprised four villages (Szlachtowa, Jaworki, Biała Woda and Czarna Woda). Until the Vistula Action in 1947, it was inhabited by specific sub-groups of the Lemken .

The place was first mentioned in the 15th century and was initially inhabited by Poles. In 1523 Achacy Jordan , a Russian woman , became mayor .

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Szlachtowa became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).

In 1900 the municipality of Szlachtowa had 159 houses with 653 inhabitants, 646 of them Ruthenian-speaking, 7 Polish-speaking, 646 Greek-Catholic, 5 Roman-Catholic, 2 Jews.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Szlachtowa became part of the Second Polish Republic .

During the Second World War it belonged to the Generalgouvernement . In 1944 the deputy bailiff of the village and an OUN Semen Szlachtowski activist were killed by the Polish Home Army .

From 1962 to 2007 the village was incorporated into Szczawnica.
