4J2. Garbów (Garbow)
The Gmina of GarbowThe southern edge of the gmina is part of the distinctive Naleczow plateau, of loess hills cut through with sharp sided gullies. The northern part of the gmina is part of the Lubartow plain with its meandering rivers and undulating landscape. The name 'Garbow' probably derives from the local dialect word for 'hillocks/hummocks' - Garby. The gmina covers an area of 102sq.km,79% of which is arable land and 12.5% is wooded. Of the arable land, some 82% is ploughed, 14.5% meadows and 3.5% orchards. The population is about 9000 people. Archaeological finds show that the area was inhabited as far back as 3000 BC. The first mention of Garbow was in 1326, and it indicated that there was already a well established Roman Catholic parish there. There is a sugar factory here and sugar beet is grown locally.

Garbów (Garbow)
In the old cemetery on the hill, remains of an old wooden castle, dating from the 8th-9th century, have been found. Pottery dating from the same period has also been found in several locations around the village. The Szczekocki family owned Garbow between the 14th and 17th centuries. In the mid 17th century it was owned by a Daniel Izycki, in the late 17th century by a Szymon Kawiecki (Cornet of Nowogrod), in the 18th century it was first owned by the Sieniawskis and then the Czartoryskis, and by the end of the 18th century by a Michal Gronowski. Michal Gronowski was a relative of the last Polish (elected) king, Stanislaw August Poniatowski, who gave him the right to establish a town under the Magdeburg Right in 1795. Magdeburg is a town in Germany, the town/city rights there being used as a model for other German cities, as well as by other countries. Lublin holds its city status under these rights. However, Michal Gronowski never exercised the right, and on his death, the ownership of this village returned to the powerful Czartoryski family. Maria Czartoryski sold the village in 1819 to Count Jan Jezierski, who erected a palace and started a fish farm there. In the early 20th century, the Broniewski family, who were Polish sugar barons, took control of the estate and founded the Garbow sugar factory in 1908. This factory still produces sugar. At the same time a new distillery and brickyards were also established.
Garbow has a long history of pottery and Birch tar production.
In the village today can be seen the remains of a manor house and park. A neo-gothic church from 1911 (not sure which of the below this is). There are the ruins of a church from the 18th century, this was the parish church but it was burnt down in 1915.
