Wielopole Skrzyńskie [vjɛlɔˈpɔlɛ ˈskʂɨɲskʲɛ] Yiddish: וילופולה, romanized: Vyelipol) is a village (town in 1348 - 1933) in Ropczyce-Sędziszów County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland.

[1] The history of Wielopole dates back to the 12th century, when it was a defensive gord, located on a hill called Stroszowa Góra, among the forests near the border between Lesser Poland and Red Ruthenia.

In 1266 Ruthenian Prince Swarno, supported by Lithuanians and Tatars, raided Eastern Lesser Poland, burning Wielopole to the ground.

The town was located on a merchant route from Sandomierz, through Ropczyce, towards the Kingdom of Hungary, and until the late 14th century, it was property of the Bishopric of Lebus.

It remained a small, provincial town, without rail transport, as Galician Railway of Archduke Charles Louis goes some 15 kilometers to the north.

On 11 May 1955, in a wooden shack fire during cinema projection, 58 people (including 36 children) perished,[4] the worst one-day death toll in Polish post-war history.
