 In 1616, King Zygmunt III Waza granted it Magdeburg rights, and Bogoria quickly developed, with its own town hall, artisans and eight fairs every year.The town belonged to Lesser Poland’s Sandomierz Voivodeship, and like other locations, it was completely destroyed by Swedish soldiers in the Deluge (1655 - 1660).In 1662, it had only 300 inhabitants, and by 1676, the population shrank to 100.
