Kobiór

As a result of the fragmentation of Poland, it was part of the Polish Seniorate Province and Duchy of Racibórz.

During the political upheaval caused by Matthias Corvinus the duchy was overtaken in 1480 by Casimir II, Duke of Cieszyn from the Piast dynasty, who sold it in 1517 to the Hungarian magnates of the Thurzó family, forming the Pless state country.

In the accompanying sales document issued on 21 February 1517 the village was mentioned as Kobyer.

In the War of the Austrian Succession most of Silesia was conquered by the Kingdom of Prussia, including the village, and in 1871 it became part of the German Empire.

During the German occupation (World War II), the occupiers established and operated the E740 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp,[4] and a subcamp of the Auschwitz concentration camp in the village.
