Geographical location

history
The place Tymbark owes its existence to Casimir the Great , who in 1349 founded a parish and an associated church (ecclesia nostra Tymbarcensi) here . The place was called Jodłowa Góra (e.g. in 1353 as in civitate… Jodiowa góra , about Tannenberg , in the sources e.g. Timbarg in 1393). Just three years later, he gave the place city rights . Presumably, the inhabitants were mainly German at that time, because the German name replaced the Polish Jodłowa Góra . During the increasing Polonization , the German name Tannenberg was adapted to the Polish language and so the current name Tymbark was mentioned for the first time in the 16th century . At the beginning of the century, the city was also placed under the direct administration of the king. Despite the city status, the city was very dependent on agriculture and its structure was largely village-like. At the end of the 16th century a church school and a hospital were built.
The city initially belonged to the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), Krakow Voivodeship , Szczyrzyc District. When Poland was first partitioned in 1772, Tymbark became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). From 1855 Tymbark belonged to the Limanowa District .
In 1830 Tymbark came into private ownership and remained so until the First World War . In the 1830s the city experienced an upswing; so the number of craftsmen increased and trade also revived. In 1837 a loan office was opened in Tymbark. This was followed by a post office and the connection to the Chabówka – Nowy Sącz railway line . During the First World War, Russian and Austrian troops marched through the city. In 1934 Tymbark lost its town charter due to a low population. The city was only electrified from 1947 to 1957. A sawmill was also built.
