The first recorded mention of Świdnik comes from 1392 when Wladyslaw
Jagiello conferred Świdnik Major administration office upon Peter of Moszyna.
Then, the village started functioning under German law (so far, it had
had Polish law) and the village administrator was obliged to join the cavalry
during wars. Świdnik Major consisted of two feuds together with meadows
and an inn. Over the following centuries, together with changes of owners
of the villages, the names Świdnik Major and Świdnik Minor appeared in
written
sources quite often. The present form of the name: Świdnik originated only
in the second half of the 18th century. Before, the town was known as "de
Swidniki" (1417) or "Swydnyk" (1470). The name itself comes from a plant
(lat. Cornus Sanguinea) growing on wet soil. Population on 1 January 2001:
41 112.
