history
Bystřice was founded as a ducal village in the second half of the 14th century. The first written mention comes from the year 1423. Until the 19th century, Bystrzyc was a small mountain farming village in the Duchy of Teschen , whose inhabitants lived mainly from agriculture, especially pasture farming. A large number of paseken (single cuts) had been created in the forests by lumberjacks.
An evangelical tolerance church was built between 1811 and 1817. After the Trzynietzer Eisenwerke was founded in 1839, the town grew rapidly and some of the residents were employed in the hut.
After the abolition of patrimonial Bystrzyc formed a community in the Teschen district from 1850 . In the second half of the 19th century the village was called Bystritz until the spelling Bistrzitz was used at the beginning of the 20th century . The majority of the residents were Polish-speaking. After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the border between Poland and Czechoslovakia was drawn on the Czantory ridge east of the village. Because of the large Polish population, Poland also claimed the Olsa area and the Polish-Czechoslovak border war broke out . From 1920 Bystřice belonged to the Český Těšín District. After the Munich Agreement , Bystrzyca was annexed to Poland in 1938 and joined the German Reich the following year after the occupation of Poland. Until 1945 Bistritz belonged to the district of Teschen and came back to Czechoslovakia after the end of the war.
After the dissolution of the Okres Český Těšín, the place came to the Okres Frýdek-Místek at the beginning of 1961. In 1980 the large municipality Bystřice was created by incorporating the surrounding villages, in which Bystřice the district Bystřice 1-Bystřice formed. In 1990 the incorporated towns formed independent communities again. A strong Polish minority lives in Bystřice.
