Characteristics

Gorzyce commune is located in the fork made by Wisla and San rivers. Rivers Leg and Trzesniówka cross the commune area. The first record on a village of the present commune of Gorzyce dates from 1191 and concerns Sokolniki. It was even earlier, howeyer, probably in the 1st half of the 12th c., that the first parish in the region was founded — Gorzyce. At that time it was a church and administrative centre for all grounds within the east part of the Sandomierska Wood stretching as far as the Polish-Russian border.

At the time of the 2nd Republic of Poland present Gorzyce commune grounds were located within the Lvov province and the county of Tarnobrzeg. As a result of changes of the administrative division ot that county a collective commune arose with its seat in Trzesn. In the 2nd half of the 1930s the land between Wisla and San rivers formed a part of the Central Industrial District what resulted in establishment of the Metallurgical Works based in Gorzyce and opened in June 1938.

Under the Nazi occupation strong posts of the Home Army (AK) and fewer units of the Peasant's Battalions (BCh) and the National Armed Forces (NSZ) operated within the commune of Trzesn.

The commune transferred its seat from Trzesn to Gorzyce in 1973. Since 1975 it formed a part of the Tarnobrzeg province, since 1 January 1999 - of the podkarpackie province.
