history
Since 1467 the Saybusch rule belonged to the noble Komorowski family, who ran a settlement campaign. The place was founded by Wallachians on cleared land around the turn of the 15th century and was only mentioned in the early 17th century. The name is probably derived from the outdated word sopot , which means waterfall .
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).
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Sopotnia Wielka 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 Saybusch in the administrative district of Katowice in the province of Silesia (since 1941 province of Upper Silesia ).
From 1975 to 1998 Sopotnia Wielka was part of the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
