history

The place was first mentioned in 1285 as Grozey . Later it was mentioned as Grodecz (1364), Grodicz (1442), Grodecz (1457), Grodziecz (1537). The name is derived from the Slavic hill fort (grodziec) .

The parish of Grozecz was mentioned in the Peterspfennig register of 1326 in the Auschwitz deanery of the Krakow diocese .

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Opole-Ratibor ( Kastellanei Auschwitz) during the period of Polish particularism . The duchy was divided in 1281 after the death of Wladislaus I of Opole . Since 1290 the village belonged to the Duchy of Teschen and since 1315 to the Duchy of Auschwitz . Since 1327 was the fiefdom of the Kingdom of Bohemia , in 1457 from Poland bought.

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

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Grojec came to Poland. This was interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .

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