==History==
The settlement dates back to the [[Early Middle Ages]], to the 5th or 8th century,<ref name=zaby/> and in the 10th century it became part of the emerging Polish state. Within medieval [[Piast dynasty|Piast]]-ruled [[Kingdom of Poland (1025–1385)|Poland]], it was the location of a [[motte-and-bailey castle]], which existed until the 15th century, and is now an archaeological site.<ref name=zaby>{{cite web|url=https://zabytek.pl/pl/obiekty/dziedzice-grodzisko-stozkowate|title=Grodzisko stożkowate|website=Zabytek.pl|author1=Ewa Kalbarczyk-Klak|author2=Magdalena Przysiężna-Pizarska|accessdate=25 July 2021|language=pl}}</ref>

It was first mentioned in 1531, and its name is believed to derive from the name of its founder.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.strzeleczki.pl/cms/php/strona.php3?cms=cms_strze&lad=a&id_dzi=11&id_dok=35&id_men=11&powrot=1&slowo_szuk=&gdzie_szuk=&id_men_szuk=0 |title=Official website |language=Polish |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002212409/http://www.strzeleczki.pl/cms/php/strona.php3?cms=cms_strze |archivedate=2011-10-02 }}</ref>

In 1783 the town was bought by King [[Frederick the Great]] of [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]]. From 1871 it was also part of [[Germany]].

In 1921 the [[Upper Silesia plebiscite]] on 20 March 1921, 862 votes were cast, with 541 villagers voting to remain with Germany, and 321 voting to join the newly restored state of Poland.<ref>[http://home.arcor.de/oberschlesien-bw/abstimmung/neustadt.htm Results of the Upper Silesia plebiscite (in German)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140508223342/http://home.arcor.de/oberschlesien-bw/abstimmung/neustadt.htm |date=2014-05-08 }}</ref> The village became again part of Poland following Germany's defeat in [[World War II]] in 1945.
