Klimontów is a former town (1967 to 1975), now a district of Sosnowiec in the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland .

history

The place was first mentioned in 1361 as Clymontow , when it belonged with Siedlec to Otto von Pilcza , the Starost of Ruthenia . After 1379 Otto transferred it from Polish to Magdeburg law . In 1386 it was sold with Siedlec and Pogoń in the Teschener district (see Duchy of Siewierz ) from Piotr Szafraniec to Wisław and Piotr from Mysłowice . The possessive name is derived from the personal name Klimont / Klimąt / Klimunt (= Klemens ).

The place between the black and white Przemsza belonged administratively to the district Proszowice or Kraków in the Krakow Voivodeship in the Kingdom of Poland (from 1569 in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania ), but the village was in the Roman Catholic parish in the Upper Silesian city ​​of Mysłowice parish in the 19th century.

In 1487 it was attached to the goods of the city of Będzin . In the course of the Third Partition of Poland , Prussia became part of New Silesia in 1795 . In 1807 it came to the Duchy of Warsaw and in 1815 to the newly formed Russian-dominated Congress Poland . In 1827 there were 51 houses with 294 inhabitants and around 1880 there were 40 houses and 475 inhabitants, of which around 200 were immigrant industrial workers in the Polish or Dombrowa coal basin . The Klimontów Colliery was built between 1898 and 1908 . In 1917 and 1933 the local miners went on strike.

After the end of the First World War it became part of Poland. In 1921 the village of Klimontów in the municipality of Zagórze in the powiat Będziński of the Kielce Voivodeship had 221 houses with 5237 inhabitants, predominantly Polish (5224) Roman Catholics (5155).

During the attack on Poland in 1939, the area was occupied by the Germans and assigned to the district of Bendsburg in the new "East Upper Silesia". The colliery was renamed to "Bismarck".

In 1952 a tram line was opened, today part of the tram in the Upper Silesian industrial area . During the People's Republic of Poland , Klimontów in the Katowice Voivodeship received urban-type settlement status in 1954 and town charter in 1967 . In 1975, under Edward Gierek –– even from neighboring Porąbka , it was incorporated into Sosnowiec.
