The origins of the Krakowiak are connected with the courtship ritual where several couples would participate in a dance with the male of each couple improvising words to the melody as played by the band.

The dance dates back to at least the 16th century, where it began as a folk dance, but was soon being published in songbooks. By the mid-nineteenth century, the song was a popular ballroom dance in much of Europe and was closely associated with the Polish struggle for independence during that era.

The name of Kraków is traditionally derived from Krakus (Krak, Grakch), the legendary founder of Kraków and a ruler of the tribe of Vistulans. In Polish, Kraków is an archaic possessive form of Krak and essentially means "Krak's (town)".

Throughout the 14th century Kraków served as Poland's economic and political centre and as a major trading point between England and Hungary. Concurrently, it grew into the nation's intellectual and cultural locus, as evidenced by one of its main surviving medieval structures, the Jagiellonian University.
