Established by the Popiels hamlet Kotow near their village Popiele and the salt works became a subject of dispute between the Popiels and the king Zygmunt Stary and in the effect the Popiels were denied rights to Kotow, which became a part of the personal estate of the queen Bona. The Zygmunt Stary's son and successor, king Zygmunt August confirmed the Popiels' rights to the estate.

The document below written in Krakow on April 11, 1549, is a confirmation of the king's Wladyslaw Jagiello's grant of July 21, 1427 to Hrycko and Tyszko Popiel giving them lands Ratyczna:

I have translated that by myself since nobody volunteered. With dictionary and zero knowledge on Latin. Perhaps someone will mobilize and correct it. (sp)
