Commune in Galicia after the partition of 1772
Added to the collection:
After the first partition of Polish, the area of the commune became part of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria.
In 1772, Austria seized a large part of the Commonwealth as part of the first partition of Polish. The entire area of the modern commune of Gręboszów became part of the Austrian state, and after a few months of military rule, the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria was proclaimed together with the Grand Duchy of Krakow.
The territory of the commune belonged to the Dąbrowa county with the starosty in Dąbrowa Tarnowska; the courts in Dąbrowa and Żabno operated in the county. In Galicia, 74 county starosties were formed. In 1848, serfdom was abolished; in the Galician autonomy there were two ownerships of land — tabular (large) and rustic (peasant).
After the partition, part of the commune's lands was purchased by Count Wodzicki — a supporter of Austrian rule (Wikipedia — commune Gręboszów). During the November Uprising (1830–1831), food and weapons were smuggled through the commune from Galicia to the Kingdom — a similar route was used in 1863 during the arrest of General Langiewicz in Ujście Jezuicki (separate page). In the parish registers, Fr. Czapiżyński recorded the great floods of the Dunajec and Vistula rivers (1774–1775) and the annexation of the village to the parish after 1772 — see Okruszyny z Gremboszowa (1911).
