The village was first mentioned in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305 as item in Pogorsz.[2][3][4] It meant that the village was in the process of location (the size of land to pay a tithe from was not yet precised). The creation of the village was a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known as Upper Silesia.
After Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire a modern municipal division was introduced in the re-established Austrian Silesia. The village as a municipality was subscribed to the 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 890 in 1880 to 862 in 1910 with a majority being native Polish-speakers (92.2%-95.4%) and a growing German-speaking minority (from 41 or 4.6% in 1880 to 61 or 7.1% in 1910) and at most 12 or 1.4% Czech-speaking people (in 1900), in terms of religion majority were Roman Catholics (73.8% in 1910), followed by Protestants (25.2% in 1910) and Jews (9 or 1% in 1910).[5] The village was also traditionally inhabited by Cieszyn Vlachs, speaking Cieszyn Silesian dialect.
