Summary/Abstract: Th e events of the end of October and the beginning of November of 1918,when Poland regained its independence have yet to be thoroughly researched. The most vital political documents are known, as well as the actions of the most important figures and some of the activities of the larger communities, but much remains to be discovered about the course of local events. An article based on the available archival materials and accounts describe the take over by Poles of military control of Wadowice and its environs, as well as the creation of the fi rstunits of the Polish Armed Forces and the structure of military administration in the area. Wadowice was one of the first cities of that era of Galicia that was freed from Austro-Hungarian Rule. Th e article recalls the great patriotic activity of the communities of Wadowice in that time, and also provides much new information about the people who took active part, as well as details of many events.
