history

The older settlement within today's village was Trzebol, now just a hamlet of Wielkie Drogi. In the 13th century Trzebol was one of the oldest and most important villages in the area. At that time the village belonged to the so-called Radwanite Corridor . The villages in this corridor were commonly referred to as Trebol in the 1274 document . The Radwanite Corridor belonged to Poland and connected the Duchy of Auschwitz , the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia , in the west with its exclave in the east.

In 1356 Trzebol belonged to Janusz Radwańcewicz, then to Jakub Radwan. In the 15th century, the settlement na wielkich drogach ( along long roads ) slowly developed next door . In the 16th century at the earliest, it became larger than Trzebol.

During the first partition of Poland , Wielkie Drogi came to 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, Wielkie Drogi came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the General Government .

From 1975 to 1998 Wielkie Drogi was part of the Krakow Voivodeship .
