In late 16th century, several villages near Boguchwała became property of Castellan of Sandomierz, Mikolaj Spytek Ligeza, who was the owner of Rzeszów.

The time of relative growth and prosperity ended in 1624, when a Crimean Tatar raid resulted in burning of a number of villages, and deaths of thousands of residents.

In the early 18th century, the Great Northern War brought widespread destruction to Boguchwała and its area.

Lubomirski wanted Boguchwała to compete with Rzeszów, and due to his efforts, the village received town charter in 1728, together with a new Rococo-style church.

In the early 1740s, Teodor Lubomirski expanded his manor house, turning it into a Baroque palace complex, with a spacious park.

In 1772, after the First Partition of Poland, the government of Austrian Galicia voided this decision and Boguchwała lost its town status.

The village was an important outpost of the Home Army, and local AK unit took part in the Operation Tempest.
