Following other medieval towns of Europe, Przyrów had a market square, and several streets. Its first wójt was Jakub Rechicki of Nagłowice, and town's privileges were confirmed by several other Polish kings. In the 14th century Przyrów emerged as an important center of beer production. By the 15th century, the village Komorów was included within the town limits of Przyrów.

In 1554, King Sigismund II Augustus confirmed the municipal privileges and established three annual fairs.
