Nový Bohumín

First buildings appeared in the middle of the 19th century, when the Bohumín-Košice railway line was being constructed.

The settlement, known as Bohumín-nádraží (Bohumín-train station), was renamed to Nový Bohumín in April 1924.

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