History
Initially named Paczków, it was renamed Stary Paczków (meaning "Old Paczków") after the newly founded town of Paczków nearby took the name in 1254.[3] In a medieval document from 1338 the village was mentioned under the Latinized name Antiquum Paczcow.[4] The name Paczków comes from the Old Polish male name Pakosław.[3] In 1861 the village was inhabited by 810 people, solely of Catholic confession.[4]
