history

The first written mention of the place as Czanec or Čeněc (Czech spelling) was in 1440. Later (1441) and Czanyecz (1445) followed. The name is derived from the personal name * Czan (compare Czech Čanek or the appelativ czanka - rod of the curb ) with the suffix -ec.

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . In 1457 the duchy with Czanyecz was bought by the Polish king. In 1470 the village had a Roman Catholic church after Jan Długosz . In 1564 Czaniec 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 .

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Czaniec became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (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 and Kęty Judicial District from 1850. In the first half of the 19th century, the Teschen Habsburgs founded a paper mill in Czaniec, which was sold to the Fijałkowski family in 1888.

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Czaniec 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 ).

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