[1] Głogów Małopolski lies in southern part of the Sandomierz Basin, and historically belongs to the province of Lesser Poland.

The history of Głogów begins on April 22, 1570, when a local nobleman Krzysztof Głowa of Nowosielce (Jelita coat of arms) issued a document, upon which a brand new town called Głowów was to be founded in a forest along a merchant route to Sandomierz.

Furthermore, special plots were fashioned for gardens, church, rectory, bath house, hospital, mill, brewery and folwark.

After the death of Krzysztof Glowa, the town belonged to Castellan of Sandomierz Mikolaj Spytko Ligeza of Bobrek (Polkozic coat of arms).

After a Crimean Tatars raid (1624), the town was surrounded by a protective rampart with several towers, whose traces are still visible in some spots.

The town was famous in the region for its fairs In the 19th century, Głogów remained a local center of commerce and administration, with a court, a post office, notary public, pharmacy and a school.

In 1903, local office of the Gymnastic Association Sokol was opened here, and its members later joined the Polish Legions of Józef Piłsudski.

In the Second Polish Republic, Głogów belonged to Lwow Voivodeship, and in the late 1930s, with the Central Industrial Area, the town's importance was reduced at the expense of the quickly growing Rzeszow.
