HISTORIA
Ślady osadnictwa na terenie Rzeszowa sięgają neolitu. Początki miasta odnosi się do 1345, kiedy Kazimierz III Wielki wydał przywilej lokacyjny nadający Rzeszowowi z okolicami J. Pakosławicowi ze Stróżysk. Miasto założone na prawie polskim lub ruskim musiało istnieć już przed tą datą, gdyż w przywileju król uwolnił je od sądów starościńskich i kasztelańskich.Pakosławicowie wkrótce przybrali nazwisko Rzeszowskich. 1498 zniszczony przez Wołochów, 1502 przez Tatarów, w XVI i XVII w. przez liczne pożary. 1569 M. Rzeszowski zbudował most na Wisłoku i groble chroniące miasto od wylewów, za co otrzymał od Zygmunta II Augusta przywilej pobierania myta na wiodącym przez miasto głównym gościńcu węgierskim.
Po śmierci A. Rzeszowskiego (1583) miasto przeszło na własność M.S. Ligęzy, kasztelana sandomierskiego. Z jego polecenia rozpoczęto budowę obwarowań miejskich i zamku, w mieście założono skład ryb i win. 1655 zniszczony przez Szwedów, 1657 przez wojska Jerzego II Rakoczego. 1660 przeszedł na własność Lubomirskich.
Rzeszowski Ratusz jest jedną z najbardziej znanych budowli miasta. Został wybudowany, podobnie jak zamek, przez Mikołaja Spytka Ligęzę, najprawdopodobniej przed końcem XVI wieku. Dzisiejszą formę przyjał pod koniec XIX wieku, kiedy to w 1867 i 1884, następnie w latach 1897-98 przeprowadzono jego gruntowną przebudowę łączącą elementy w stylu neogotyckiego i neorenesansowego. W wyniku przesuniecia ściany frontowej i oparciu jej na arkadach budynku powstała główna sala, gdzie obraduje Rada Miasta. Do dziś Ratusz pozostaje głównym budynkiem, w którym mieści się siedziba Prezydenta i Rady Miasta.

Fratricide, pillaging…
The name Bieszczady was said in horror, because of the fratricide, pillaging, burning and massacres taking place there. The consequence of which was the depopulation and desolation of the Bieszczady region. Nature, however, took its course and fought back, covering this once smitten land with lush foliage, trees and abundant animal life. The inhabitants regained the valleys, meadows, hills and wildlife that were once torn from them by man.
Solina and Myczków
A positive point of the program was the daming of the San Ricer creating two hydro-electric plants at the villages of Solina and Myczków. On the shores of the resulting enormous lake (Solina), modern resorts sprang up. But the majority of the industrial and agricultural investments, especially in the higher areas, were economic fiascos.
The Bieszczady National Park
Like everything in the Bieszczady, the history to preserve nature in these mountains was also a temperamental one. The first natural reserve was established in Stużica, which included the protection of ancient beech and sycamore trees.
