history

Since 1467 the rule of Saybusch belonged to the aristocratic Komorowski family, who began a settlement campaign. The place was founded by the Wallachians on cleared land around the turn of the 15th century . Andrzej Komoniecki (* 1678, † 1729) mentioned the place in his chronicle under the year 1508 and it was held for the first mention.

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Bystra became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).

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

From 1975 to 1998 Bystra was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
