History
In the 15th century it was a royal village mentioned by Długosz, belonging to the Żarnowiec parish. At the beginning of the 16th century, sources mention 7. peasants in Jeziorowice. In 1627, as a result of the then raging plague, there were 3 peasants in the village. Around 1650 the village was put in as a pledge. According to the lustration from 1660, a non-castle district of Jeziorowickie, separated from the Żarnowiec eldership, along with the farm and adjacent lands in the Krakow Province, Lelów Poviat, was established here. In 1771, Jeziorowice was owned by Antoni Sikorski, a swordfish from Chęciny. In the years 1773–1775 at the Warsaw Seym of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Sikorski was granted the possession of the Jeziorowice eldership for 40 years, for carrying out drainage for PLN 40,000, provided that he did not give up this property earlier than the Treasury of Poland would pay him that sum. In the nineteenth century, Jeziorowice and the farm belonging to the Małoszyce estate were incorporated into the majorate of Żarnowiec. During the Kingdom of Poland, Małoszyce, Otola and Jeziorowice were combined into one unit, under the name Dobra Małoszyce, and was given to General Fejchtner in 1877. In 1906, Jeziorowice was hitherto included in the parish St. Wojciech in Łany Wielkie, was incorporated into the Rokitno parish. This year, 57 farms and 44 houses were listed.
