In 1939, there were 49 farms. As of January 1945, there were said to be 425 Ukrainians there. The Greek Catholic Church of the Circumcision of Our Lord was built there in 1856. It was a filial church of the church in nearby Morochów
, which is much older. The village generally endured through World War II until 1944.
This village was the subject of repression by the Soviet-sponsored Polish Army in early 1946 as part of the campaign to eliminate suspected support for the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).
On January 23, 1946, the soldiers came into the area, and launched offenses against Bukowica
, Ratnawica, and Zboiska, among other places. They were searching for an alleged 800 UPA members led by "Ren." They attempted to engage the UPA forces near Zawadka Morochowska.
The parish Birth record of Zawadka Morochowska (1784–1890) and the Death record of Zawadka Morochowska (1784–1943) are at the "Meeting of the Lord Orthodox Church" in Morochów
. This Orthodox Church is in the building once used by the Greek Catholic Church of Morochow.
