history

The place was first mentioned as Smolice on August 1, 1228 , when it was owned by Klemens Gryfita, who received it from the Duke of Opole. Klemens Gryfita gave Smolnicza to the Benedictine nuns in Staniątki before 1253 , but from 1253 to 1273 it belonged to a knight. The patronymic place name, formerly also Smolica , Smolicy , Smolnica , Smoliszcze , is derived from the personal name Smoła (for example, 1391: Smola de Grodisco ), but it was also approximated to the name that denoted a place where tar (in Polish smoła ) was made (Smolnica , Smoliszcze).

Politically, the village belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz , which existed from 1315 during the period of Polish particularism . Since 1327 consisted suzerainty of the Kingdom of Bohemia . Since 1445 it belonged to the Duchy of Zator , which was sold to the Polish in 1494. In 1564 Smolice was completely incorporated as part of the new Silesia District of the Cracow Voivodeship to the Kingdom of Poland , from 1569 the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic .

During the first partition of Poland in 1772, Smolice 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 , after 1850 it formed a parish in the Wadowice District , later in the Oświęcim District .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Smolice came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II . It then belonged to the district of Bielitz in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).

From 1975 to 1998 Smolice was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
