History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned in 1292, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. After World War II, in 1945–1947, Poles expelled from Wiśniowce in pre-war south-eastern Poland annexed by the Soviet Union settled in Kochanów.[3] An agricultural cooperative was founded in the village in 1953.[4]
