The city was first mentioned in 1662 in connec tion w ith it being granted the Magdeb urg r ig hts. S oon a fterwards, whe n in 1 672 the Turks conquered th e fortress of Kamieniec Podolski, Stanislawow, togeth er with Halicz, became a strongpoint against Turkish language forc es. It was a tta cked a nd besiege d in 1676 , bu t the Turks did no t manage to capture and pillage the city. However, S tanisl awow was so b adly d estroyed that in 1677 the Sejm in Warsaw relieved the city of its tax duties.
