history

The place could have existed as early as the 13th century, but was first mentioned in a document in 1419. The name is a diminutive form of the name Zawada and denotes an obstacle on the way .

Politically, the village originally belonged to the Duchy of Auschwitz , which was under the feudal rule of the Kingdom of Bohemia . Since 1445 it belonged to the Duchy of Zator , which was sold to the Polish king in 1494. In 1522 it was pawned by the Krakow citizen Mikołaj Brandys to another citizen of Italian origin, Gaspare Castiglione, who built the Sucha Castle in the future .

Subsequently, the Duchy of Auschwitz-Zator was completely attached to the Kingdom of Poland in 1564, as the district of Silesia in the Krakow Voivodeship , and from 1569 in the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic .

During the first partition of Poland , Zawadka came to the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (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 judicial district of Wadowice in the Wadowice District after 1850 .

In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Zawadka 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 Zawadka belonged to the Bielsko-Biała Voivodeship .
