history
The place Las (literally forest ) was founded in the late 16th century under the Komorowski family, the owners of the Saybusch country , by Wallachians and was first mentioned in a document in the court of the episcopal visitation of the parish Ślemię (Ślemień) from 1598. From 1608 it belonged to the Ślemień domain.
During the first partition of Poland in 1772 the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). From 1782 it belonged to the Myslenice district (1819 with the seat in Wadowice ). After the abolition of patrimonial , it formed a municipality in the Saybusch district after 1850 .
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Las came to Poland. In 1923 the village was detached from the powiat Żywiecki and connected to the powiat Makowski , but after the protests of the local population, this administrative border shift was reversed in 1931.
After the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II it belonged to the district Saybusch the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ). In 1939 the village had 1295 inhabitants. In the Saybusch campaign , 13 families or 49 Poles were forcibly resettled in Las on November 29, 1940 in order to settle it with 5 ethnic German families and 17 Roman Catholics from Eastern Galicia and the Buchenland . The reduction of the population to 400, the complete Germanization and the renaming to Kleinwalde were planned for the village, but not implemented before the end of the world war.
From 1975 to 1998 Las was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
