Dolní Žukov

Dolní Žukovⓘ (Polish: Żuków Dolnyⓘ, German: Nieder Zukau) is a village in Karviná District, Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic.

[2] The village of Žukov was first mentioned in the document of Pope Gregory IX issued for Benedictine abbey in Tyniec in 1229 as Zukow.

Probably because of financial problems the Benedictines sold part of the village, which later became known as Horní Žukov.

According to the censuses conducted in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910 the population of the municipality grew from 692 in 1880 to 1,165 in 1910 with the majority being native Polish-speakers (between 96.8% and 99.5%) accompanied by a small German-speaking minority (at most 26 or 3.2% in 1890) and Czech-speaking (at most 9 or 0.8% in 1910).

Following the Munich Agreement, in October 1938 together with the Zaolzie region it was annexed by Poland, administratively adjoined to Cieszyn County of Silesian Voivodeship.
