History: According to the constructed chronology, Piersiow was founded in the 14th century by a guild of masons and peasants who settled along the Dębowka stream. It received limited municipal rights in the 18th century and developed a market square by the 19th century. Economy and culture: The local economy is described as agriculture-based, with dairy farming, crop production, and small woodworking workshops. Cultural life centers on an annual harvest festival and traditional crafts such as wooden furniture and pottery.
