Below is a list of raw contributions to be added into the Jaslo main page.
A list of rectories, created for collecting tithes, a church in "Jassel" in Zrecin deanery, Krakow diocese, is shown in 1328.

According to Dlugosz in Liber beneficiorum Dioecesis cracoviensis, the church that stands today was built by brothers Stanislaw Cielatko (Czelanthco), Sandomierz scholastic, and Mikolaj of Ciolek arms, in 1446. This was done because the original was destroyed by the Hungarians.

The coats of arms of Strzemie, Traby, Gryf, Janina, and Pobog are on the vault of the church, and because of this, the Slownik Geograficzny suggests these may be noble houses that contributed to the development.

The city was challenged at the start of the period; in 1474, the King of Hungary, Matthias I Corvinus, burned Jaslo in his assault of the foothills of the Carpathians.

In 1550, Joachim Lubomirski, a courtier of Zygmunt August, and his lineage, was given Jaslo, after it was converted to a starostwo.

When referring the details of a 1564 city inspection, the Slownik Geograficzny described: “Judging by the number of bakers and cobblers, one must conclude that the town was significantly larger then than today.”  This is about the Jaslo of around 1902, with 2,962 inhabitants at that later time.

Jaslo was given to Mikolaj Strus by Zygmunt III in 1613. He revived the city and strengthen the prohibition against Jews, "because they hinder the townsmen in trade and buy up all the victuals," as described Strus, according to the Slownik Geograficzny.

Additionally, destructive fires occurred in Jaslo in 1683, 1755, and 1826, which likely slowed development of the city.

Adam Tarlo became the starosta of Jaslo in 1733, and Jedrzej Moszczenski was the next starosta to take office.

The starosta lived in a castle in Krajowice, since Jaslo had no walls or castle; no traditional castle ruins exist in Jaslo.

A monastery and church of the Carmelites also existed in Jaslo. The Slownik Geograficzny suggests that it was probably founded before 1437. A well, which St. Wojciech supposedly blessed while traveling from Hungary, existed in the church, which drew pilgrims to the town. The monastery was changed to an office for the starosta in 1786, the well cannot be found today.

On June 12th, 1846, the Galician Riots bred a wave of anti-Jewish riots, which swept through the city, injuring and destroying the property of many of the native Jews. Very close to Jaslo, the spirit refinery of Jacob Frant was burnt down. Fire-fighting utilities were ordered not to extinguish the fires by the district captain that arrived at the scene, and other authorities did not intervene. The city and surrounding villages were reported to contain six thousand inhabitants at this time, and a quarter of that population was Jewish, according to the special correspondent of The Jewish World newspaper at the time.

Between 1840 and 1849, the city maintained a population of about 1950 individuals, according to census data included in the Dictionary of Geography.

One of the clerics that mobilized the peasantry in the 1848 anti-Austrian rising was Father Karol Szlegal from near Jaslo.

Near Jaslo and the nearby Krosno, other crude-oil refineries were established in the mid-late 1800s.

In 1860, the Austrian Imperial administration again declared the right for Jews to live inside the confines of Jaslo. Afterwards, the Jewish population rapidly increased, ingraining itself in the financial and commercial sectors of the city and nearby areas.

"The Parish of Christ's Crucifixion,” which resides at the cemetery, was established in 1862.

Between 1880 and 1902, agriculture and cloth manufacturing were the common main occupations in the area around the city.

Around 1910, the priest Kisevsky and his six gendarmes persecuted Eastern Orthodox peasants by fining them on trivial pretexts, and many were taken to the court in Jaslo to receive their sentences. A Jewish lawyer represented the Orthodox peasants, and described that the Jews in the area were not persecuted for handling lit candles openly, for which the Orthodox peasants were fined.

The Ukrainian national group known as the Prosvita (Enlightenment) Society developed affiliates in Jaslo between 1893 and 1903. By 1914, the Society spread to 22 Lemko villages, and promoted Ukrainian national ideology, identity, and language.

The city was taken behind the Russian front. Railroads ran from Sanok to Jaslo and from Jaslo to Przemysl, which the occupying Russian forces relied on for transportation of food, munitions, and troops through the front.

Prussian commander August von Mackensen moved his headquarters to Jaslo the following morning, after the line was pushed back several miles beyond the city.
