History
Originally, during the time of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, it was part of the village of Przytoczno in Stężyca Land, Sandomierz Voivodeship. In 1498, at the request of its landowner, Mikołaj of Ostrów, King John I Albert issued a privilege granting it town rights under the Magdeburg law. The town received permission to organize three fairs a year, a street market every few weeks, and to set up guilds for its burghers. However, the incorporation of the city failed, probably due to insufficient funds or the Tatar invasion in 1502. In 1530, King Sigismund I the Old gave the next landowner, Łukasz Zbąski, a confirmation of the old privilege. This enabled him to establish in 1533 a town called New Przytoczno on Wieliska, an island on the Wieprz. The name Łysobyki appeared in documents as early as 1564; however, until the end of the 16th century it was used alongside its former name. The sixteenth-century street layout from that period has been preserved, with wooden houses with decorated shutters and porches. After the Partitions, Łysobyki belonged to the Russian-controlled Congress Poland. By the end of the 19th century it had a primary school, a commune office, 116 houses, and 1112 inhabitants. In 1965, the name of the village was changed to Jeziorzany. ==References==
