History

The first mention of Ribarzowice comes from the conscript register of the Silesian poviat in 1581.^[2] In 1592, it was mentioned under the German name Fischendorf , which is related to the proximity of the Bielsko-Biała language island^[3]

In 1595, the village, located in the Silesian poviat of the Krakow voivodship, was owned by the castellan of Nowy Sącz,

After the partitions, Rybarzowice found itself under Austrian rule becoming a part of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria .
