Nagórzany is about 10 miles from Sanok in south-west Poland. It is situated below the main watershed at the foot of the Słonne Mountain, and has an elevation of 340 metres. Situated in the Subcarpathian Voivodship (since 1999), previously in Krosno Voivodship (1975-1998) and Sanok district, (10 miles east of Sanok), located near the towns of Medzilaborce and Palota (in northeastern Slovakia). The village was a filial parish to Wola Sękowa 3km away.
Nagórzany was founded in 1446 by Bals family. During 966-1018, 1340-1772 (Ruthenian Voivodeship, Sanoker County) and during 1918-1939 Wolica was part of Poland. While during 1772-1918 it belonged to Austrian empire, later Austrian-Hungarian empire when double monarchy was introduced in Austria. This part of Poland was controlled by Austria for almost 120 years. At that time the area (including west and east of Subcarpathian Voivodship) was known as Galicia. In 1785 the village lands comprised 6 ½ lan. There were 50 Greek Catholics, 267 Roman Catholics and 5 Jews. In 1899 the village lands comprised 3,43 sq km. There were 49 Greek Catholics, 431 Roman Catholics, and 10 Jews. The church at Nagórzany is right on the road an easy to get to. Church was "Saint Michael" 1848 - Saints Peter & Paul". The name was changed from Saint Michael in 1864. The cemetery has a few headstones in it. On April, 1946 the village was attacked by a strong unit of UPA and some buildings were burnt. Only over a dozen years after the war the village started to rebuild.
The rural families are poor, agriculture is rarely profitable and low income makes it difficult for farms to invest in from improvements.
