History
The village could have been first mentioned in 1136 in a papal bull of Pope Innocent II in the sentence: Item villa ante Bitom, que Zversov dicitur cum rusticis argentifossoribus et cum duabus tabernis nonnisi ad archiepiscopi pertinet iurisdictionem.[1] Later it was mentioned in a document issued by Władysław Opolski on June 24, 1257, which allowed Henryk of Miechów to resettle Chorzów on German law. This privilege was renewed by Casimir of Bytom in 1299.[1] The local Catholic parish was established somewhere between 1300 and 1326, when it was first mentioned in Peter's Pence register among parishes of Sławków deanery in Diocese of Kraków.[1]
After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite 3,242 out of 6,269 voters in Chorzów (Stary) voted in favour of staying in Germany, against 2,980 opting for joining Poland.[2] In 1922 it became a part of Silesian Voivodeship, Second Polish Republic.
