Nowy Bidaczów was part of the Zamoyski family entail.^[2] In 1827, the villages of Nowy Bidaczów and Stary Bidaczów had a combined population of 289.^[2]

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1945. On October 6, 1942, the Gestapo and SS carried out a massacre of 22 Polish farmers, as punishment for rescuing Jews from the Holocaust.^[3]
