Wola Sękowa, village in East Małopolska in the Bukowsko Upland mountains, Bukowsko rural commune, parish in Bukowsko.

Zboiska is about 15 miles from Sanok in south-west Poland. It is situated below the main watershed at the foot of the Słonne Mountain, and has an elevation of 340 metres. Situated in the Subcarpathian Voivodship (since 1999), previously in Krosno Voivodship (1975-1998) and Sanok district, (10 miles east of Sanok), located near the towns of Medzilaborce and Palota (in northeastern Slovakia).

Wola Sękowa was founded in 1493 by Bals de Lobetanz family. From 966-1018, 1340-1772 (Ruthenian Voivodeship, Sanoker County) and during 1918-1939 Zboiska was part of Poland. While during 1772-1918 it belonged to Austrian empire, later Austrian-Hungarian empire when double monarchy was introduced in Austria. This part of Poland was controlled by Austria for almost 120years. At that time the area (including west and east of Subcarpathian Voivodship) was known as Galicia. In 1785 the village lands comprised 6 1 lan. In 1899 the village lands comprised 3.43 km². The church at Wola Sękowa is right on the road an easy to get to. Church was "Saint Michael" 1848. The cemetery has a few headstones in it. On April, 1946 the village was attacked by a strong unit of UPA and some buildings were burnt. Only over a dozen years after the war the village started to rebuild. The rural families are poor, agriculture is rarely profitable and low income makes it difficult for farms to invest in from improvements.
