History
Founded in the eighteenth century, the first recorded mention of Nicponia appears in written sources around 1790, which refer to the village as Nitzponie.[2]
The village has been regarded as unusual in bucking the national trend for youth emigration from Poland since EU accession.[3]
Transport
A now defunct industrial narrow gauge railway once serviced the village.[2] National road 91 currently runs through Nicponia.
