Binczarowa (Rusyn:Bolcarjova or Borcalova; Ukrainian Bil'tsareva) is a village in southern Poland.
[edit] History
Binczarowa was first mentioned in Polish history in 1365, under the name Bibyczareban. In 1531, the Rusyn Ivan Trukhanovych (Polish: Jan Truchanowski) obtained the town and Polish nobility. It is a Lemko village in the western Lemkivshchyna. It was the birthplace of Jaroslav Kacmarcyk, president of the Lemko-Rusyn Republic, and of Metodyj Trochanovskij, who published a Lemko grammar.
After the First Partition of Poland in 1772, it was part of the Galician district of Grybow, and part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was briefly independent from December 5, 1918, until March, 1920, as part of the Lemko-Rusyn Republic (Ruska Narodna Respublika Lemkiu, or Ruska Lemkivsa Respublyka).
After World War II, it was depopulated by the Polish government in Operation Wisła in 1947.
