History

Following the Prussian conquest of 1742 the village came under German rule. Its German name was Freyhan. At the end of the Second World War in 1945, the region of Silesia to which the village belongs was transferred to Poland, and the German-speaking inhabitants of the region were forced to flee. The village since then has been fully Polish in ethnicity and goes solely by the Polish name of Cieszków.
