There are also two Roman Catholic churches, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene (Dolniok) and St. Isidore (Górniok).

Bolesław Kominek, a Polish Catholic priest and cardinal, was born in Radlin in 1903.

Its name is probably derived from the word "radło" in the sense of a plow, or part of it, which indicates the agricultural character of the village.

A longer note about this town can be found in documents from the late nineteenth century, more precisely in the records of Franiczek Henke, a historian of the Racibórz-Wodzisław region, who states that Radlin is one of the largest villages of the Rybnik powiat and consists of Radlin Górny, Dolny and Obszary.

Henke reports that there were 51 farms in Radlin Górny, and as a result of parceling, the number of them increased to 70, but their usable area had significantly decreased.

In 1997, Biertułtowy, Głożyny and Obszary separated from Wodzisław and formed the town of Radlin.
