[[File:20180816 Zamek w Sandomierzu 1708 8999 DxO.jpg|thumb|left|[[Sandomierz Castle|Sandomierz Royal Castle]], a [[Historic Monument (Poland)|Historic Monument of Poland]]<ref name=ph/>]]
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.
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. The [[Polish resistance movement in World War II|Polish resistance movement]] was active in the region, with the short-lived [[Second Republic of Pińczów|Republic of Pińczów]] liberated in 1944.
Holy Cross Province was created on 1 January 1999 out of the former [[Kielce Voivodeship]], eastern [[Częstochowa Voivodeship]], and western [[Tarnobrzeg Voivodeship]], pursuant to the [[Polish local government reforms]] adopted in 1998.
