The place was first mentioned in documents as the parish Gigersdorf seu [- or] Gerowicz in the Peterspfennigregister of the year 1326 in the Auschwitz deanery of the Krakow diocese . The first name is of German origin but for a short time, the second Slavic (Polish).

The area of Żywiec with the village was pulled out of the Duchy of Auschwitz in the 1450s under unexplained circumstances. It finally belonged to Poland from 1465.

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

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Gilowice became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
