Tokarnia was founded in 1526 by Herburt. From 1340-1772 (Ruthenian Voivodeship) and from 1918-1939 Tokarnia was part of Poland. While during 1772-1918 it belonged to Austrian empire, later Austrian-Hungarian empire when double monarchy was introduced in Austria. This part of Poland was controlled by Austria for almost 120 years. At that time the area (including west and east of Subcarpathian Voivodship) was known as Galicia.
The rural families are poor, agriculture is rarely profitable and low income makes it difficult for farms to invest in from improvements.
