Dzięgielów

Dzięgielów is a village in Gmina Goleszów, Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland, near the border with the Czech Republic.

The village was first mentioned in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305 as item in Zengilow.

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.

Politically the village belonged initially to the Duchy of Teschen, formed in 1290 in the process of feudal fragmentation of Poland and was ruled by a local branch of Piast dynasty.

According to the censuses conducted in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910 the population of the municipality grew from 501 in 1880 to 506 in 1910 with a majority being native Polish-speakers (between 97.4% and 99.2%) accompanied by a German-speaking people (at most 12 or 2.6% 1890) and Czech-speaking (at most 5 or 1% in 1900).
