As written in 1939, the union was formed:
- for the greater glory of the Republic of Poland, which is rising to the heights of power through the joint efforts of all citizens
- in order to refer to the magnificent nine-century history of the Nation, which has written its greatness on the pages of history with its weapons
- for the renewal of splendor of the Polish borderland knighthood, which faithfully guarded the borderlands of Poland by the sword and plough
- In order to relate the noble traditions of chivalry to the duties of citizens towards the resurrected Polish State, the Union of Homestead Nobility is created.
His tasks were to take care of the Polish minor gentry in the borderlands, who had not yet lost their Polish nationality, and to repolonize those who had already lost it.
The first rural circles began to be organized in 1935, and in 1936 a Committee for Homestead Nobility was formed, which led to a convention in Lviv the following year.
On October 17, 1937 the Congress of the Homestead Nobility took place in Lviv. In the Grand Theater gathered about four thousand delegates of nobility circles. It was decided to create the Union of the Zagrodowa Nobility, a commission was appointed to develop a statute and a program of activity.
