history
The village is located in the Olsa region (also Teschner Schlesien , Polish Śląsk Cieszyński ).
The settlement began by residents of Istebna in the first half of the 17th century, but was forbidden by the Teschen dukes when the forest was an important border with Poland during the Thirty Years War (the village belonged to the Habsburg monarchy ). Chalupy na Koniakowie ( stalls in Koniaków ) were mentioned in the years 1695-1712. The year 1712 is held as the founding year (e.g. the public holiday in 2012), but the independence of Istebna was only achieved in 1816. The name may have been inherited from Koniakau near Teschen.
After the abolition of patrimonial Koniaków formed from 1850 a municipality in Austrian Silesia , Teschen district and Jablunkau district . In the years 1880–1910 the population rose from 857 in 1880 to 1120 in 1910, all of the inhabitants were Polish-speaking. In 1910, 88.7% were Roman Catholics and 11.3% were Protestants.
In 1920, after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the end of the Polish-Czechoslovak border war , Koniaków became part of Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
From 1975 to 1998 Koniaków was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
