history

The place was first mentioned in 1486 as Twrza , and then as Twrye (1494), Thurza (1578), Turza Wielka (1785–1788) and so on.

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

In 1900 the municipality of Turza Wielka had 327 houses with 2309 inhabitants, of which 2046 were Ruthenian-speaking, 235 German-speaking, 28 Polish-speaking, 2046 Greek-Catholic, 233 Israelite, 30 Roman-Catholic, 42 of other faiths.

In 1901 the youngest German colony in Galicia - Diamantheim (Ukrainian Широке Поле, Polish Szerokie Pole for Breitenfeld ) was established southeast of the village . In the inter-war period there was a subsidiary congregation of the Ugartsthal congregation in Diamantheim in the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg and Helvetic Confessions in Lesser Poland , which in 1937 had 300 members. In 1939 Diamantheim had 310 inhabitants, 270 of them German.

After the end of the Polish-Ukrainian War in 1919, the community became part of Poland. In 1921 it had 498 houses with 2,652 inhabitants, including 2,131 Ruthenians, 266 Germans, 178 Jews, 77 Poles, 2,113 Greek Catholics, 266 Protestants, 202 Israelites, 72 Roman Catholics.
