history
The village is located in Cieszyn Silesia .
In 1999 a small tower hill castle was found there, probably from the 14th century, on the old salt road from Wieliczka to Moravia . The place was first mentioned in 1592 as Kowalie . The settlement name is derived from the profession of blacksmith (Polish kowal , Pl. Kowale ).
Politically, the village belonged to the Duchy of Teschen , the feudal lordship of the Kingdom of Bohemia , and from 1526 it belonged to the Habsburg Monarchy .
After the abolition of patrimonial , it formed a community in Austrian Silesia , Bielitz district and the judicial district of Skotschau from 1850 . In the years 1880–1910 the population increased from 347 in 1880 to 362 in 1910, there were predominantly Polish speakers (between 93.6% and 99%), in 1910 there were also 23 (6.4%) German speakers. In 1910, 66% were Roman Catholic, 31% Protestant, and there were 11 (3%) Jews.
In 1920, after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the end of the Polish-Czechoslovak border war , Kowale came to Poland (the judicial district of Skotschau became part of the Powiat Cieszyn of the autonomous Silesian Voivodeship ). This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . At that time it belonged to the Teschen district .
From 1975 to 1998 Kowale belonged to the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
