The town of Góra Ropczycka is situated on a hill, hence its name. In the distant historical times it was called Gora, then the name was changed to Gora, and finally, when Gora became part of the royal estates, it was called the Royal Mountain to distinguish it from other mountains. After the first partition of Poland and the takeover by the Austrian government of all properties for the State Treasury, the name Góra Ropczycka was started to be used because it was located in the Ropczyce poviat. In 1614, Klucz Ropczycki was separated as the Ropczyckie Starosty with its seat in Góra Ropczycka. Over the years, these goods were either pledged for borrowed sums or leased to people who deserved the king (including Mikołaj Zborowski, Jan Osswoski, Elżbieta Koniecpolska, and in the 17th century they were taken over by the Potocki family). After the first partition of Poland, the Ropczyce estate was purchased by Gabriel Bobrowicz Jaworski. His daughter, known for her beauty and flirtation, married Franciszek Ksawery, Count Starza. In 1846 their son, Kazimierz Starzeniaski erected barracks for the Krakus regiment. Later, he sold the property to Adam Potocki. The last owner was count Andrzej Tarnowski. After the outbreak of World War II, the property was taken over by the German authorities. After its completion, the property was transformed into a state-owned farm. Today it is a private farm, famous for the production of excellent cold meats. The fact that Góra Ropczycka belonged to the royal land is evidenced by the ruins of a classicist manor house, the ruins of the barracks, the former castle park, now called Buczyna, figures of St. © Góra Ropczycka Farm 2011 | Created by Bartłomiej Dzik | CMS MP Agency

The farm in Góra Ropczycka was established on the basis of the former state-owned farm under the Act on the Restructuring of State Farms of November 21, 2000.
