History
Ujazd dates back to medieval Piast-ruled Poland. It was first mentioned in the act of endowment of the monastery in Jędrzejów in 1174–1176, and then also in the renewal of the monastery's privileges in 1210.[2] Ujazd was a private village of Polish nobility, including the Oleśnicki, Zborowski, Ossoliński, Kalinowski, Wiśniowiecki, Morsztyn, Pac, Sołtyk, Łempicki and Orsetti families,[2] administratively located in the Sandomierz County in the Sandomierz Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province.[3] Krzysztof Ossoliński erected the Krzyżtopór castle.[2] The castle was the site of Polish defenses against the Swedes in 1655 (Deluge) and the Russians in 1770 (Bar Confederation), suffering destruction as a result.[2]
In 1827, Ujazd had a population of 143.[2]
