The older settlement within today's Schulzenamt is Kańczuga, which was first mentioned in 1381 as Canczuc .

Bielany was first mentioned in 1457 as Byelany , when it was bought by the Polish king with the Duchy of Auschwitz (and Czaczuga or Kańczuga). In 1564 Bielany was completely incorporated as part of the new Silesia District of the Krakow Voivodeship to the Kingdom of Poland , from 1569 the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic .

A Roman Catholic church was built before 1482. In the late 16th century, Jordan Małecki received some privileges to found a town in Kańczuga, but the company did not go ahead.

During the first partition of Poland , Bielany became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). From 1782 the village belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial it formed a parish in the Biała District .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Bielany came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Bielitz in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

Until 1952, Zasole Bielańskie was a hamlet of Bielany.
