In 1633, a Swedish corps with 20,000 men camped in the village's fields for six months. From there they attacked the city of Gliwice.

The place was mentioned in 1783 in the book Beytrage to describe Silesia as Ceslow , consisted of two parts and was in the district of Tost . One part had 248 inhabitants, two farms, a Catholic church, a mill, 18 farmers and 19 gardeners. The other part had 46 inhabitants, a farm, five farmers and ten gardeners. In 1818 the place was mentioned as Ceslow . In 1865 Kozlow consisted of a manor and a village. The manor consisted of three parts named Kozlow I, Kozlow II and Kozlow III and had four Vorwerk with the names Kozlow-Oberhof, Kozlow-Niederhof, Waldvorwerk and Carlowitz. The village also consisted of three parts and was united into one community a few years earlier. At that time the village had 18 farmers, 26 gardeners and 30 cottagers. There was also a copper hammer, two grinding mills, a cutting edge, a Catholic church and a Catholic school with 130 students. The copper hammer was originally an ironworks.

In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Gliwicki and the new Silesian Voivodeship. On October 10, 2013, the place was also given the official German place name Koslow .
