LEŚNICA – AN OUTLINE OF THE VILLAGE’S HISTORY FROM THE 14TH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT DAY
In terms of area and population, Leśnica is the smallest of the six villages that make up Stryszów Municipality. In the Middle Ages, it belonged first to the Duchy of Oświęcim and from 1440 to the Polish Crown. In the years 1440-1646, it was part of the Starosty of Barwałd, and then, in the years 1646-1772 it belonged to the Starosty of Lanckorona. In the years 1772-1918, the village was under Austrian rule. In reborn Poland, until 1933, Leśnica was an independent municipality, and then it was incorporated into the Stryszów Municipality. During the German occupation in 1939-1945, Leśnica was in the General Government. After World War II, until 1954, the village was still part of Stryszów Municip - ality, and then, in the years 1954-1968, of the commune of Stronie. From 1969, the village was in the commune of Stryszów, and from 1973 in Stryszów Muni - cipality. Leśnica was in Kraków Voivodeship until 1975, in Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship in the years 1975-1998, and from 1999 in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in Wadowice County. A small elementary school, later renamed common and primary school, existed in the village for short periods of time – in the years 1911-1924 and 1961-1974. In general, children from Leśnica attend a primary school in nearby Stronie nowadays. The faithful from Leśnica used to belong (until 1907) to the parish in Stryszów. Today they belong to the parish in Zakrzów. The main site of religious worship in Leśnica is the chapel of Saint Adalbert. After the political changes in Poland and the restoration of local self-governments, starting from 1990, social and cultural life in Leśnica has flourished, centered around the residents association and a civic center situated in the middle of the village.
