Jan Długosz, famous medieval Polish chronicler, lists two villages with similar names: Lenartów Most and Lenartowice. In 1508 Lenartowice were annexed into many goods of Jan Bochotnicki. Later, the village was seemingly abandoned by the Łysa Góra cloister; however it is also possible that it retained some amount of influence, presumably in a tavern by the village bridge.

Many so-called "landless" farmers were given their own land thanks to those "ukaz" decrees.

After the 16th century it was briefly called "Niemście-Zaraś", which derives from the Polish word "zaraza" meaning "epidemic" – referencing a local outbreak. Understandably, that version of the name did not last long and it was quickly transformed into its current form: Niemścice.

    In 1827 Niemścice had 9 households, with 71 people residing there. It was part of Łubnice goods.

  18. Oględów

    In his chronicles, professor Piekosiński claims that the name "Oględów" comes from the name of its founder – Oględ.

    In 1252, Bolesław V the Chaste convened a senate rally in Oględów. A similar rally took place once again, in 1256. In 1357 the quarrel over borders between Staszów and Kurozwęki was settled. Numerous meetings of wealthy people – castellans, provincial governors – were held at the Oględów court during Medieval times. There was also a castle, a surrounding borough, an administrative center, and also the Oględów water mill. There was a quarrel in 1417 about the ownership of Oględów between its potential heirs.

    Before World War I, Podmaleniec was part of the Wiśniowa gathering of localities, and was referred to as "Nowa Dobra". It was at that time councillor from Maleniec Jan Kos proposed that the village's name should be changed to Podmaleniec. During World War II villagers of Podmaleniec were exiled multiple times to Pliskowola and Czajków regions, due to the danger posed by battles taking place nearby.
