The town was established in 1717 and later suffered severe destruction during World War II from bombing campaigns. Much of its building stock was destroyed in 1939, marking a turning point in its development.
Writer Isaac Bashevis Singer depicted the market life here in his works, capturing images of local traders and community gatherings. His writing brings to life the everyday interactions of people buying and selling in the town center.
The town sits at the junction of roads 74 and 835, approximately 68 kilometers from Lublin. The surrounding area falls within the Szczebrzeszyn Landscape Park, which provides natural features in the region.
The town's name comes from Franciszka Szczuka, wife of a local nobleman who played a role in its founding. This naming reflects the connection between early settlement and an influential woman from the local nobility.
