The beginnings of Jäschkittel date back to the 14th century. The place is first mentioned in 1428 as Jesketel . The village church was built in 1511.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Jäschkittel fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Jäschkittel belonged to the district of Strehlen in the administrative district of Breslau from 1816 . In 1845 there was a castle, a Protestant church, a brewery, a distillery, two outworks and 48 other houses in the village. In the same year, 374 people lived in Jäschkittel, 60 of them Catholic. In 1874 the Lorenzberg district was formed, to which Nieder- and Ober Jäschkittel were incorporated. In 1885 Jäschkittel had 961 inhabitants.

In 1933 the village had 420 and 1939 367 inhabitants. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Strehlen .

As a result of the Second World War, Jäschkittel fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Jeszkotle and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Brzeski ( Brieg district ).
