It lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) south-west of Osiek, 17 km (11 mi) south-east of Staszów, and 69 km (43 mi) south-east of the regional capital Kielce.[5]

History[edit]

In 1827 Ossala had a population of 401.[6]

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. In 1939, the Polish resistance organized a collection and shipping point for aid packages for Poles who had lost their homes and possessions in other regions, i.e. those arrested or expelled by the Germans and those fleeing Soviet-occupied eastern Poland.[7]
