The beginnings of settlement in the upper Wisła valley
The first records of the settlement of Wisła date from the early 17th century, and the Komora urbarium of 1621 lists data on the village. The village belonged to the estates of the Dukes of Cieszyn, administered by the Cieszyn Chamber, and its first settlers were woodcutters and farmers. After 1653 the locality became hereditary property of the Habsburgs, and the Austrian aristocracy organised many hunts in the Wisła forests and built wooden forester lodges for them. Until the end of the 19th century the settlement was typically pastoral.
