Following the restoration of independent Poland, Waręż was a part of the Polish Lwów Voivodeship (Sokal County) and – since 1934 – seat of the Gmina Waręż, a rural administrative district of Poland[6] (Waręż does not appear on lists of towns since at least 1931,[7][8][9] and prior to this it only had market town status (miasteczko), which was considered a rural unit in an administrative sense[10]).

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was occupied by the Germany until 1944.

During the Holocaust, Waręż's entire Jewish population was killed.
