geography
The community, traversed by the Polish Droga krajowa 84 , is located on a railway line coming from Sanok around 11 kilometers from the border with Ukraine at the confluence of the Jasienka stream into the Strwiąż , a tributary of the Dniester (Ukrainian: Стривігор ).
history
The city had been in the Austrian Galicia since the first division of Poland in 1772 to 1918 and then came under the Second Polish Republic . Around 1900 half of the 4,000 inhabitants were Jews. Moses Fränkel, father of Josef Fraenkel , was an oil entrepreneur and mayor of the Stetl . After the German invasion of Poland in 1939, the village was annexed to the Soviet Union; the Polish part of the population was deported. In 1942, under the German occupation, the Jewish part of the population was moved to Sobibor . The remaining Ruthenian Lemks were forcibly relocated to Pomerania, Masuria and Lower Silesia during the purges in the Vistula action in 1946 and 1947. None of the pre-war residents lived in the city. With the exchange of territory in 1951, the city came back to Poland.
