John III Sobieski Street is a street in the Downtown district of Sanok.[1] It runs northward from the intersection with Józef Piłsudski Street to Zamkowa Street.

History

Originally named Zielona Street, it underwent significant reconstruction in the late 1870s and early 1880s, involving widening and land acquisition managed by Esig Herzig under the supervision of engineer Henryk Stoy.[2] During the construction of the C. K. Gymnasium, the Sanok Municipal Council, on 8 February 1883, designated Zielona Street as a municipal road. The street's regulation plan was approved on 5 April 1883.[3]

On 2 August 1883, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Vienna (12 September 1683), the Municipal Council renamed the street after John III Sobieski at the citizens' request.[4] On 6 September 1883, a ceremony was planned for 11 September 1883, during which a commemorative plaque was installed.[4][5][6][7] In 1913, the street was incorporated into the Downtown district.[8]

During World War II, under German occupation, the street was renamed Sobieskistrasse[9][10][11] and later Kasernenstrasse.[11][12] It bordered the Sanok Ghetto to the west. In 1944, during Eastern Front battles in Sanok, the street was a combat zone, with German forces defending the gymnasium building and burning the northern post office building in July 1944.[13]

In 1951, the street was renamed Jarosław Dąbrowski Street.[6][12][14] During the Polish People's Republic, residential blocks were constructed, and the area was known as "Dąbrowski Estate".[15] The original name, John III Sobieski Street, was restored in 1990.[12]
