The district of Teschen ( Polish : Powiat polityczny Cieszyn ) was a political district in Austrian Silesia in the years 1850–1855 and 1868–1918 / 1920. Its area included parts of the Olsa region (Cieszyn Silesia) in today's states of Poland ( Silesian Voivodeship , Powiat Cieszyński ) and the Czech Republic ( Moravskoslezský kraj , Okres Frýdek-Místek and Okres Karviná ). The seat of the district administration was the city of Teschen, today Cieszyn in Poland and Český Těšín in the Czech Republic. After the First World War , the district fell to Poland and Czechoslovakia .
