- Archival history:
- The records of Dąbie were kept at the village’s chancellery. As the Commune was liquidated in 1910, the records were taken over by the Municipality Office (magistrat) of Krakow. In 1911, twelve fascicles were transferred to the Archives of the City of Krakow in 1910.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Dabie was a village owned by the City of Krakow. It was leased, primarily, to city councillors in the 18th and 19th centuries. After the seizure by Austria in 1796 Dąbie became part of a Krakow quarter; in 1809-15, the area remained within the urban commune; in the Free City of Krakow period (1815-38) Dąbie was part of Mogiły, then a collective commune. District starosties were formed in 1855, subdivided into counties (powiats): Dąbie was merged with Beszcz and Głębinów, under the rule of the Municipality (magistrat) of Krakow. In 1866, the commune was granted broad rights; it was subordinated to the County Department in Krakow and, in state structure terms, to the k.u.k. Starosty of Krakow. The county offices were turned in 1868 into starosties, and a Starosty of Krakow was set up. The area of the County Office of Liszki and Mogiła was incorporated into the Starosty of Krakow. Dąbie was eventually incorporated in the City of Krakow in 1911.
