history
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 39 votes, or 6.25% of the valid votes for remaining with Germany and 585 for joining Poland, were cast in Gostin. Since the constituency Pleß, to which the village belonged, had voted with a large majority for Poland, the district Pleß and Gostin were ceded to Poland as Gostyń on June 28, 1922 .
Between 1922 and 1939 the place belonged to the autonomous Silesian Voivodeship . In September 1939 Gostyń was occupied by the German Wehrmacht , in January 1945 by the Red Army and subsequently returned to Poland .
From 1975 to 1998 the region was part of the Katowice Voivodeship .
