The town Firlej (former Firlejów) was grounded by Mikołaj
Firlej in 1557. From the beginning the town has typical agriculture and
handicraft character.
The other owners of Firlej were the families of Zalewski,
Lubomirski and Sanguszko. In 1839 the town belonged to the president of
Polish Bank - Mr Henryk Łubieński, who grounded the first factory of tools
and agriculture machines in Lublin area.
Firlej took part also in uprising fights in 1831 and
in 1863. The town had lost his rights because of patriotism of its citizens
in 1869. The XX age brought to the town great demage caused by I World
