In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is first mentioned as Kyow . The place name Kiendorf has been handed down for the year 1358 . In 1372 the place was mentioned as Kyendorf .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Kaindorf and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Kaindorf belonged to the district of Neisse in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a scholtisei , a chapel, a quarry and 35 other houses in the village . In the same year, 245 people lived in Kaindorf, all of them Catholic. In 1855 230 people lived in Kaindorf. In 1865 there were 19 gardeners and ten cottagers in the village. The residents were trained in Naasdorf. In 1874 the district of Köppering was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Kaindorf, Köppernig and Naasdorf and the manor districts of Kaindorf and Naasdorf. In 1885 Kaindorf had 237 inhabitants.

In 1933 there were 215 people in Kaindorf and 209 in 1939. During the Second World War, there was a temporary labor camp in Kaindorf. Until the end of the war in 1945 the place belonged to the Neisse district .

As a result of the Second World War, Kaindorf, like most of Silesia, fell under Polish administration in 1945 . It was subsequently renamed Kijów and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski .
