history
Historically, the contiguous local area is divided into two parts: Alt-Moselache in the south and New Moselache in the north. Even if both places go back to the Frederician colonization of the 18th century in the forests north of Brieg, the history of the two places developed separately. The Alt-Moselache colony was established before 1750, the Neu-Moselache colony was founded in 1772 by the city of Brieg on urban land with eight colonist sites. The place name is said to go back to colonists from the Moselle region . While Alt-Moselache, as a royal property, was subject to interest payments by the royal castle and domain rent office in Brieg, Neu-Moselache was subject to the treasury and the regional and city court of Brieg. The majority of the inhabitants of both villages were of Protestant denomination. The parish of Tschöplowitz was responsible for old, the parish of Klein Leubusch for new Moselache.
From 1816 to 1945 New Moselache was a rural municipality of the district Brieg in District United Leubusch. On September 20, 1897, Neu Moselache was merged with Tschöplowitz to form the new rural community Tschöplowitz.
After the occupation by the Red Army at the end of the Second World War in 1945, Moselache became part of Poland as Śmiechowice . When finding a name, the German part of the name "lache" was taken up and translated as Lachen - śmiech . This gave the place the patronymic place name Śmiechowice, ie "place of śmiech".
