In Polish historiography since the present day is the notion that the 2 nd half of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, the Galician gentry in general did not take any major initiatives aimed at changes introduced by the conqueror of the socio-economic development. The analysis of source documents from that time authorized to conclude that the lack of theoretical expression does not mean the absence of practical action. Many landowners have successfully continued since begun in the mid-eighteenth century economic initiatives. There were also – albeit few – try to set up factories and workshops, such as by Ignatius Miączyński. Industrial development initiatives on a larger scale, however, noted only after the Congress of Vienna. Delivery date for this project, it can be implemented, among others by John and Joseph Konopka Matkowski. In the 30.–40. of nineteenth century there were more: the acquisition of Łańcut Alfred Potocki started this great work of industrial property, in the translator’s Henry Dzieduszycki established the first sugar factory in Galicia, in Krasiczyn Leon Sapieha opened a textile factory, and Alfred Mysłowski Koropca prater with plans to launch steam navigation on the Dniester. All of these projects, though uncommon, and undertaken by a relatively narrow group of people, prove that the idea of industrialization of their own wealth, and thus the whole country, was not alien to the Galician landlords, although a greater involvement in industrial activities had to wait until the construction of railways and the discovery of oil.

The last quarter of the eighteenth century was a time of substantial reforms of the political system in Galicia. The most important of these concerned, among other matters, the legal position of the peasantry, nobility and clergy, the organisation of the administrative and fiscal apparatus, and, above all, the tax collection system. These reforms initiated a process of more profound changes that covered many areas of social, political, and economic life. They also impacted towns which, after several decades, reduced the number of settlements officially recognised as cities or towns.

Ostatnie ćwierćwiecze XVIII w. to w dziejach Galicji czas intensywnych reform ustrojowych. Najważniejsze z nich dotyczyły m.in. prawnego położenia ludności chłopskiej, szlachty i duchowieństwa, organizacji aparatu administracyjnego i skarbowego, a przede wszystkim systemu poboru podatków. Reformy te zapoczątkowały proces głębszych zmian, które objęły wiele dziedzin życia społecznego, politycznego i gospodarczego. Wpłynęły one także na miasta, co po kilkudziesięciu latach doprowadziło do ograniczenia liczby miejscowości oficjalnie uznawanych za miasta lub miasteczka.
