== History ==
The village was first mentioned in 1331 as ''Willamowitz''.<ref>{{cite book | last = Panic | first = Idzi | authorlink = Idzi Panic | title = Śląsk Cieszyński w średniowieczu (do 1528) |trans-title=Cieszyn Silesia in Middle Ages (until 1528) | publisher = Starostwo Powiatowe w Cieszynie | year = 2010 | location = Cieszyn | page = 312 | language = Polish |isbn = 978-83-926929-3-5 }}</ref><ref name="mrozek">{{cite book | last = Mrózek | first = Robert | title = Nazwy miejscowe dawnego Śląska Cieszyńskiego |trans-title=Local names of former Cieszyn Silesia | publisher = [[University of Silesia in Katowice|Uniwersytet Śląski w Katowicach]] | year = 1984 | location = Katowice | pages = 183–184 | language = Polish |issn = 0208-6336}}</ref> Politically the village belonged then to the [[Duchy of Teschen]], formed in 1290 in the process of [[History of Poland#Fragmentation|feudal fragmentation of Poland]] and was ruled by a local branch of [[Piast dynasty]]. In 1327 the duchy became a [[Fee (feudal tenure)|fee]] of the [[Kingdom of Bohemia]], which after 1526 became part of the [[Habsburg monarchy]].

After [[Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire]] a modern [[municipality|municipal division]] was introduced in the re-established [[Austrian Silesia]]. The village as a municipality was subscribed to the [[Districts of Austria|political district]] of [[Bielsko]] and the [[legal district]] of [[Skoczów]]. According to the censuses conducted in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910 the population of the municipality dropped from 189 in 1880 to 178 in 1910 with a majority being native Polish-speakers (90.9%-99%) and a small minority German-speaking (at most 15 or 8.4% in 1910) and Czech-speaking (at most 7 or 3.7% in 1890), in terms of religion majority were [[Protestants]] (74% in 1910), followed by [[Roman Catholics]] (25.8% in 1910) and 2 [[Jews]].<ref>{{cite book | last = Piątkowski | first = Kazimierz | title = Stosunki narodowościowe w Księstwie Cieszyńskiem | publisher = Macierz Szkolna Księstwa Cieszyńskiego | year = 1918 | location = Cieszyn | pages = 261, 279 | language = Polish |url = http://obc.opole.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=1076 }}</ref> The village was also traditionally inhabited by [[Cieszyn Vlachs]], speaking [[Cieszyn Silesian dialect]].

After [[World War I]], fall of [[Austria-Hungary]], [[Polish–Czechoslovak War]] and the division of [[Cieszyn Silesia]] in 1920, it became a part of [[Second Polish Republic|Poland]]. It was then [[Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany|annexed]] by [[Nazi Germany]] at the beginning of [[World War II]]. After the war it was restored to [[Poland]].
