Majdan Sieniawski (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmajdan ɕɛˈɲafskʲi]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Adamówka, within Przeworsk County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland.[1]
The village was founded in the 17th century. Initially it was called Dobropole, however, it was soon renamed to Majdan Sieniawski after its founder, nobleman Mikołaj Sieniawski from the Sieniawski noble family.[2] In 1835, August Czartoryski established an institute for poor elderly people in the village.[2] In 1881, the village had a population of 2,442, overwhelmingly Catholic by confession.[2]
