The village was probably founded in the middle of the 13th century under German law. The first mention of the village took place in 1311. Another mention took place in 1333. In 1428 the place is mentioned as Prechod . In 1518 a wooden church was built. In 1534 the place is mentioned as Prschichod .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Psychod and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . From 1743 to 1818 the place belonged to the district of Opole . In 1779 the Catholic Church was built in the Baroque style on behalf of Count Leopold von Proskau.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community Psychod belonged to the district of Neustadt OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1818 . In 1845 there was a Catholic parish church, a Catholic school, a chapel, a bleaching facility, a sub-forestry and 42 houses in the village. In the same year 497 people lived in Psychod, all of them Catholic. In 1865 the village had 27 farmers and 43 cottagers. The local school had 150 Catholic students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Ringwitz was founded, which consisted of the places Leopoldsdorf, Przychod and Ringwitz. In 1885 Psychod had 904 inhabitants.

In 1933 Psychod had 1604 inhabitants. On June 15, 1936, the place was renamed Waldfurt . On March 5, 1937, the district of Ringwitz was relocated to Waldfurt and renamed the district of Waldfurt . In 1939 there were 1674 people in Waldfurt. Until 1945 the place was in the district of Neustadt OS

As a result of the Second World War, Waldfurt, like most of Silesia, fell under Polish administration in 1945 . Subsequently, the place was renamed Przechód and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1946 the German population was expelled. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Nyski ( Neisse district ).
