history
The oldest settlement within today's village of Kaniów was Żebracz , which was first mentioned on December 31, 1388, perhaps in a document from Duke Przemislaus I of Teschen, as Bettelsdorff and later in 1443 as Zebraczie .
The river bed of the Biała often shifted due to flooding and the village was divided into two parts. The part on the left bank was in the Duchy of Teschen , the part on the right bank in the Duchy of Auschwitz . The western part was later absorbed by Czechowice (now Czechowice-Dziedzice), the name survived to this day as an inhabited district. The eastern part was bought by Poland in 1457 with the Duchy of Auschwitz and mentioned as Zebracza . In 1543 the place was hit by a great flood, which induced the residents to found a new settlement, later called Kaniów Stary ( Old Kaniau ). Later the name Żebracz was no longer used and only the name Kaniów was used.
During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Kaniów became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).
After the abolition of patrimonial it formed from 1850 the municipality Kaniów Stary in the district and judicial district Biała .
A Roman Catholic parish was established in 1876.
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Kaniów became part of 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 Kaniów was part of the Katowice Voivodeship . From 1977 to 1982 it belonged to the town of Czechowice-Dziedzice with the municipality of Bestwina .
