History

The oldest town in Dębica County is Pilzno. The earliest known written source mentioning the name of the settlement of Pilzno dates back to the year 1105. "Idzi's Document" - Cistercian abbot in Tyniec.

The favorable location at the intersection of trade routes leading from Red Ruthenia and the Hungarian lowlands forced the rapid development of the settlement, transforming it into an important trade junction to such an extent that in 1354 King Casimir the Great granted it Magdeburg city law and granted it numerous privileges.

The first mentions of Dębica come from 1293, when the settlement, granted by prince Leszek the Black, came into the hands of the Gryfit family. His descendant Świętosław Gryfita in the years 1358-1372 founded the town of Dębica. In the 15th century, Dębica and the surrounding villages were part of the judicial Pilsen County within the borders of the Sandomierz Province. This period is a period of dynamic development of the farm and serf economy. Gaining access to the sea by Poland enabled the rapid development of grain cultivation, which flowed into the Vistula River through the Wisłoka basin.

In 1850, Dębica became the seat of the judicial district. In 1867 she found herself in the judicial district with the seat in Pilzno, and later in the Ropczyce district.

In 1856, a railway line from Kraków reached Dębica, which became an important factor in the development of the Dębica region.

In 1367, Jan Tyniec, abbot, allowed Jakub, the son of Stefan, to establish the town of Brzostek. Stanisław of Saspolin received a similar privilege in 1394 from Władysław Jagiełło. The king allowed the establishment of a town called Mały Brzostek, located in the vicinity of the abbey town (later Mały Brzostek became a suburb, and in the 18th century a separate village called Nawsiem).

In 1772, after the First Partition of Poland, the lands of the Pilzno poviat became part of the Austrian partition as part of the Kingdom of Galicia. In the first years of the partition, an important imperial route was built from Bielsko through Pilzno, Dębica and further to Lviv.

The dynamic economic development of the Dębica Land resulted in the fact that in 1935 Dębica became the seat of poviat authorities (winning the competition with Ropczyce). Ropczyce and Pilzno.

In 1934 Brzostek became a rural single commune. At that time, the Brzostek II commune, including the surrounding villages, was also created. In 1954, the Brzostek I commune was liquidated.

The successful and rapid economic development of the region in the interwar period continued even after the end of World War II. Until 1955, there was a large Dębicki District, which that year was divided into two smaller ones: Dębicki and Ropczycki. Until May 31, 1975, the district of Dębica covered 594 km² and 77.8 thousand inhabitants lived there. people. There were two towns in the poviat: Pilzno and Dębica, and five communes: Brzeźnica, Czarna, Dębica, Pilzno and Żyraków.

Economy

In the times of the Second Polish Republic, after the period of war devastation and after over 100 years of lack of trade contacts between Galicia and other provinces of the country, the process of industrialization of the region began. In 1925, a meat processing plant was established (today's Zakłady Mięsne Dębica S.A.), which employed 200 people. Several small brickyards and sawmills were also opened.

However, the construction of the Central Industrial District by the authorities turned out to be a real revolution. As part of the Central Industrial District, a rubber plant was established (Zakłady Chemiczne Dębica SA - sodium butadiene rubber, now Tikkurilla Beckers-Polifarb Dębica), a tire factory Fabryka Gum Jezdnych, whose founder and first director was Major Stefan Dwornik [9] [10] (later Stomil, Tire company "Dębica", Dębica SA) and a chemical factory in the nearby Pustków estate. The most dynamic economic development took place in the post-war period - the city became an important industrial center on a regional scale.

Industry changed the face of the city and accelerated its development. In 1937, the Ropczyce district was liquidated and Dębicki was established. In 1939, the number of inhabitants exceeded 10,000.

The major part of the area of the Dębica poviat is occupied by arable land (64%), which defines the main sector of the poviat's economy as agricultural. Rural areas are inhabited by 60% of the total population of the poviat. 80.6% of farms have an area between 1.01 and 4.99 ha. The average area of one farm is 3.5 ha.

Fertile soil and a well-preserved natural environment create opportunities for the development of various agricultural production, in particular "healthy food".
