In some cases, especially in immigration records, the two are referred to as one town called Grodzisko.

In 1881, an archaeological group from Kraków received a warrant to research the history of Grodzisko Górne.

They found imprints of ancient settlements, probably dating back to immigrants from the 4th to 5th centuries.

The village employs many of the wage earners who reside in the rural commune of Grodzisko Dolne.

Today there is a three-grade schoolhouse and a post office in the village, serving its population of 5094, including 364 Jews.
