History

The village of Trzyniec was founded in the 14th century, the first written mention of it comes from 1461.

In 1799, Trzyniec was bought by the Habsburg prince Albert Sasko-Cieszyński. In 1839, an ironworks was opened here, the largest in Cieszyn Silesia. At that time, the village had over 300 inhabitants, but there was no school or church here. The reasons for the location of the smelter were the local iron ore deposits and the abundance of forests for the production of charcoal

In 1871, the Koszycko-Bogumińska Railway connected the village with the Ostrava-Karviná Basin in the north and Slovakia (with its iron ore deposits) to the south. This contributed to the rapid development of the steelworks and, consequently, of Třinec itself. When the steelworks in Ustroń was closed at the end of the 19th century, some of its departments were moved to Trzyniec, the local steelworks became the largest steelworks in the c. monarchy.

After the division of Cieszyn Silesia in 1920, Trzyniec found itself within the borders of Czechoslovakia, although 69% of the inhabitants were Polish-speaking. (then the number began to decline rapidly). On January 1, 1931, the town was granted town privileges. In October 1938, as a result of the annexation of Zaolzie, Třinec was incorporated into Poland, but a year later it changed its nationality again, becoming part of the Third Reich.

In 1945, Třinec again found itself within the borders of Czechoslovakia. In the 1950s, in Łyżbice, in the southern part of the city, a monumental socialist realist district was built, which took over the function of the city center. Subsequent spatial development mainly involved the construction of several housing estates, mainly in the south-western part, as well as the expansion of the steelworks.
