Binczarowa was first mentioned in Polish history in 1365, in a decree of
Casimir the Great, under the name Bibyczareban, which forced the city of
Grybów to give up its rights to the surrounding forest. In 1531, the
Rusyn Ivan Trukhanovych (
Polish:
Iwan Truchanowicz) obtained the town and Polish nobility from
Sigismund I the Old. After the First
Partition of Poland in 1772, it was part of the
Galician district of
Grybów, and part of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was the birthplace of
Jaroslav Kacmarcyk (1885-1944), president of the
Lemko-Rusyn Republic, and of
Metodyj Trochanovskij (1885-1947), who published a
Lemko grammar. It was briefly independent from December 5, 1918, until March, 1920, as part of the
Lemko-Rusyn Republic (Ruska Narodna Respublika Lemkiu, or Ruska Lemkivska Respublyka). After World War II, it was depopulated by the Polish government in
Operation Vistula in 1947.{{cite book |last1=Best |first1=Paul J. |author-link1=Paul J. Best |last2=Moklak |first2=Jarosław |title=The Lemko Region, 1939-1947 : war, occupation and deportation ==Geography==
