Inhabited since pre-historic times, the area of [[Skarżysko-Kamienna]] and [[Wąchock]] contains several hundred former [[Paleolithic]] sites from 13,000-10,000 years ago, now known as the Rydno Archaeological Reserve.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://zabytek.pl/pl/obiekty/skarzysko-kamienna-rezerwat-archeologiczny-rydno-zespol-paleolit|title=Rezerwat archeologiczny Rydno - zespół paleolitycznych osad przemysłowych wraz z kopalnią hematytu|website=Zabytek.pl|author=Nina Glińska|access-date=28 May 2024|language=pl}}</ref> From 3900 BC to 1600 BC, [[striped flint]] was mined at [[Krzemionki]], one of the largest known complexes of prehistoric flint mines in Europe, now a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]] and [[Historic Monument (Poland)|Historic Monument of Poland]].
The territory formed part of Poland since its establishment in the 10th century. [[Sandomierz]] was mentioned as one of three centers of the Kingdom of Poland, along [[Kraków]] and [[Wrocław]], in the early-12th-century ''[[Gesta principum Polonorum]]'' chronicle. Sandomierz and [[Wiślica]] are former medieval ducal seats of the [[Piast dynasty]]. Following the late-18th-century [[Partitions of Poland]], the region witnessed several uprisings against foreign rule, i.e. the [[November Uprising]] of 1830–1831 and [[January Uprising]] of 1863–1864. In the [[interbellum]], the region was part of reborn independent Poland.▼

[[Sandomierz]] was mentioned as one of three centers of the Kingdom of Poland, along [[Kraków]] and [[Wrocław]], in the early-12th-century ''[[Gesta principum Polonorum]]'' chronicle. Sandomierz and [[Wiślica]], whose historic landmarks are designated Historic Monuments of Poland,<ref name=ph/><ref name=phw/> are former medieval ducal seats of the [[Piast dynasty]]. In the early modern period the [[Old-Polish Industrial Region]] developed in the region. Following the late-18th-century [[Partitions of Poland]], the region witnessed several uprisings against foreign rule, i.e. the [[November Uprising]] of 1830–1831 and [[January Uprising]] of 1863–1864. In the [[interbellum]], the region was part of reborn independent Poland. Its industry was developed as part of the [[Central Industrial Region (Poland)|Central Industrial Region]] of Poland.
During [[World War II]], it was [[Occupation of Poland (1939–1945)|occupied by Germany]], with the occupiers committing their genocidal policies against [[Nazi crimes against the Polish nation|Poles]] and [[The Holocaust|Jews]] in the region, massacring civilians, including at [[Skarżysko-Kamienna]] and [[Michniów massacre|Michniów]], and operating numerous prisons and [[Forced labour under German rule during World War II|forced labour]] camps.▼
