History

Going back to the past of the lands' history, which belongs to the Forest District Sława Śląska, we can encounter information dated from the XIII century. In those days, lands were divided into castellanies, within the framework of which, among others, there was conducted the forest management. The historians mention facts connected with numerous hunting having taken place in that time and the meetings of magnates in the area of Bory Tarnowskie (Tarnów Forests), which in greater extend constitute some part of the current forests of the Forest District.
