==History== thumb|left|Cycling competition of the Zbuczyn branch of the Riflemen's Association in 1936 The history of Zbuczyn dates back to the 14th century. It was administratively located in the Łuków Land in the Lublin Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. In 1418, King Władysław II Jagiełło established here a Roman Catholic parish, also granting Magdeburg rights to the village. Zbuczyn lost its commercial importance in the face of the development of nearby Siedlce and Międzyrzec Podlaski, and local innkeepers eventually changed their profession to farming. Zbuczyn remained a town for some 350 years, as on October 11, 1750, King Augustus III of Poland officially turned it back to the status of a village.
