Zagórze is a village with a Schulzenamt of the municipality Mucharz in the powiat Wadowicki of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in Poland .
geography
The place is located on the right bank of the Skawa River or the reservoir in Świnna Poręba , in the Little Beskids , south of Jaroszowicka Góra (541 m) - the only hill in the Little Beskids east of the Skawa. The neighboring towns are Mucharz in the south, Świnna Poręba in the west, Jaroszowice in the north-west, Łękawica in the north-east, and Dąbrówka and Skawce in the south-east.
history
The place could be the earliest founded by Żegota von Benkowicz after 1333. There is also a forged document, supposedly from 1389, that mentions the village. The first reliable mention of Zagorze comes from Jan Długosz (1470–1480). The name is topographical and denotes a place za górą (behind the mountain).
Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Zator , which from 1445 was nominally under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . It was sold to the Polish king in 1494. Subsequently, the Duchy of Auschwitz-Zator was completely attached to the Kingdom of Poland in 1564, as the district of Silesia in the Krakow Voivodeship , and from 1569 in the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic .
During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Zagórze became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). From 1782 it belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a municipality in the judicial district of Wadowice in the Wadowice District after 1850 .
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Zagórze came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . The border ran along the railway line and part of the place belonged to the district of Bielitz in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ), while the other part was in the Krakow district of the general government.
From 1975 to 1998, Zagórze was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
In 2017 the reservoir on the Skawa was flooded.
