history

The place was probably founded by Wallachians in the 15th century and first mentioned in 1663 as a hamlet of Ponikiew. The original name is Kocina (compare Romanian cocinǎ - pigsty).

When Poland was first partitioned in 1772, Kaczyna 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, Kaczyna came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Bielitz in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

From 1975 to 1998 Kaczyna belonged to the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
