History


The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. Until 1288, Popowice belonged to the castle chapel in Niemcza. In 1288, during the endowment of the newly established Church of the Holy Cross in Wrocław by Polish ruler Henryk IV Probus, the village was granted to the church by the bishop of Wrocław Tomasz Zaremba, subsequently remaining a private church village. In 1842, it had a population of 42.
