history

The first mention of the place Chelad the Duchy of Opole (in the area that to 1177 from Lesser Poland hived was) dates back to 1228. In the invasion of the Mongols in 1241 the city has been devastated. From 1337, Czeladź, which had been a city since 1260, belonged to the Duchy of Teschen , from 1443 to 1790 it was owned by the Diocese of Krakow as one of the three cities of the Duchy of Siewierz .

During the Swedish-Polish War the place suffered severe damage in 1655. In the course of the partition of Poland , Czeladź came to the Kingdom of Prussia , Province of New Silesia in 1795 , from 1807 it finally belonged to the Duchy of Warsaw and from 1815 again to the Kingdom of Poland .

Between 1870 and 1919, Czeladź lost its town charter, although the area of ​​the Polish Coal Basin was heavily industrialized and urbanized - mining began in 1860, which later shaped the town. In 1919 the place in the Kielce Voivodeship received city rights.

During the attack on Poland in 1939, the city was occupied by the Germans. A camp for prisoners of war and resistance fighters and a ghetto were set up in the town, which was assigned to the Bendsburg district in the new “East Upper Silesia” . A change of name to Häuerstadt was planned.

During the People's Republic of Poland , Czeladź was the county seat of the powiat of the same name in the Katowice Voivodeship from 1951 to 1975 .
