Before Kazimierz was founded, there was a small village called Bawół, which literally means buffalo in English. It was one of the settlements near Kraków.
The name probably came from a royal or monastic estate where cattle, including buffalo, were raised.Bawół was first mentioned in the 12th century.
The land was a marshy island. The Vistula flowed along what is now Dietla Street. People lived here in simple wooden huts, in rather poor conditions, and hygiene was not great.
They grew grains and vegetables and raised cattle, which was very important for the local economy. In 1335, King Casimir the Great decided to found a new town here.
That is why, around 1340, the village of Bawół was included within the new city of Kazimierz.
