Source-derived summary

Zaklików (pronounced [zaˈklikuf]) is a town in Poland, located in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in Stalowa Wola County.

It is located at an altitude of 593 feet (180 m). On the southside of Zaklików in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship the Pysznica Gmina is located. To the southwest is the town of Radomyśl nad Sanem. The town is known for the production of sulfur; it also manufactures furniture and nuts & bolts.

History

Before the town existed, a Catholic parish was first established in Zdziechowice, a village 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) distance on September 22, 1409. The town of Zaklików was founded on April 9, 1565, by the royal assent obtained by the Castellan Stanisław Zaklika Czyżowski from the King Sigismund II Augustus, on the lands previously belonging to the village of Zdziechowice. The founding charter was based on the Magdeburg Law. The city took its name along with the coat of arms from its founder. In 1787 Zaklików had 130 houses and 800 inhabitants.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Zaklików” is town in Poland. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Zaklików, town and Poland, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewMost useful as a place-based finding aid connecting the present description to earlier jurisdictions, maps and built evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1409, 1565, 1787—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1565. For this dossier, Zaklików, town and Poland is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “town in Poland” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2319835. VIAF identifies the subject as 156387828. The Library of Congress control number is nr94043703. Authority coordinates are 50.767, 22.117. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1409, 1565 and 1787.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
