The following is a timeline of the history of the city of Lublin, Poland.

Prior to 16th century

  • In between 501 - 600: The creation of settlements on Czwartek hill ("Thursday"). Czwartek was a rural settlement. It is considered the oldest early medieval settlement of Lublin. Archaeological excavations have revealed the remains of 20 residential half-dugouts and several cavities of an economic nature.[1]
  • In between 501 - 600: The creation of the settlement on Grodzisko

From the 6th century people started erecting their settlements on Grodzisko hill (Today called Castle Hill). Later the settlement had facilities for business and was servicing the Gord.[2]

  • In between 701 - 800: Elevation of the first castle on the hill Old Town

In the eighth century, Hill Old Town was a place where a tribal stronghold was built.

  • 1050–1125: Undocumented church assumption on Czwartek (currently a city district). The Church of St. Nicholas situated on the steep hill is considered the oldest church in Lublin.
  • 1190 - 1205: The mention of Lublin in the "Chronicle" of Wincenty Kadłubek
  • 1198: The oldest source record name of Lublin - "Lubelnia", the rise of Lublin archdeaconry

Lublin is one of the oldest cities in Poland. According to both Dlugosz and Kadłubek the founding of the city took place in 810. The first preserved sources mention the name of the city however, only from the XII-XIII .: "de Lubelnia" (1198). "Lublin" (1224).[3] Sources are documents of ordinary official operations - the document attesting to the creation of the Lublin archdeaconry unit, forming part of the diocese of Krakow.

Information appeared in "History of Poland" published in the fifteenth century by Jan Długosz. The city was besieged by Prince Roman. They ceased besiege and retreated when behind the line of Vistula River troops of Leszek the White began to gather.

It seems that the Dominicans came to Lublin already around 1230, although the origins of their activities are covered by the darkness of history. Usually setting Ordo Fratrum Praedicatorum indicated a high rank of the city. It is known that years later they built their first wooden church.

  • 1241: First Mongol invasion of Poland - robbery and destruction of Lublin. The devastation of the area during the march of the Mongol troops was written extensively by Jan Długosz in the seventh book of "Annals or Chronicles of the Famous Kingdom Polish."
  • 1474: Lublin became capital of the newly formed Lublin Voivodeship within Poland.
