editUntil the Partitions of Poland Pishchanka was part of the Bracław Voivodeship of the Lesser Poland Province of the Polish Crown.
Until 26 January 2024, Pishchanka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Pishchanka became a rural settlement.[2]
