== History ==
The village was first mentioned in 1562 as ''Lyzbycz''.<ref name="mrozek"/><ref>{{cite book | last = Panic | first = Idzi | author-link = Idzi Panic | title = Śląsk Cieszyński w początkach czasów nowożytnych (1528-1653) |trans-title=Cieszyn Silesia in the beginnings of Modern Era (1528-1653) | publisher = Starostwo Powiatowe w Cieszynie | year = 2011 | location = Cieszyn | pages = 171 | language = pl |isbn = 978-83-926929-5-9 }}</ref> It belonged then to the [[Duchy of Teschen]], a [[Fee (feudal tenure)|fee]] of the [[Kingdom of Bohemia]] and a part of the [[Habsburg monarchy]].
The village with [[Nýdek]] was bought from Joseph Freyherrn von Beess by [[Teschener Kammer]] in 1792 for 46,000 [[Florin (Italian coin)|florins]].<ref>{{cite book|first=Aloys|last=Kaufmann|title=Gedenkbuch der Stadt Teschen (re-edition)|volume=2|place=Cieszyn|year=2007|page=311|language=de|isbn=978-83-914331-8-8}}</ref>
After the [[Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire]] a modern [[municipality|municipal division]] was introduced in the re-established [[Austrian Silesia]]. The village as a municipality was subscribed to the [[Districts of Austria|political district]] of [[Cieszyn]] and the [[legal district]] of [[Jablunkov]] (at least from 1880). According to the censuses conducted in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910 the population of the municipality grew from 1,013 in 1880 to 1,251 in 1910 with a majority being native Polish-speakers (between 96.7% and 99.7%) accompanied by Czech-speaking (at most 23 or 2.3% in 1880) and German-speaking people (at most 10 or 1% in 1880). In terms of religion in 1910 the majority were [[Protestants]] (78.4%), followed by [[Roman Catholics]] (21.6%).<ref>{{cite book | last = Piątkowski | first = Kazimierz | title = Stosunki narodowościowe w Księstwie Cieszyńskiem | publisher = Macierz Szkolna Księstwa Cieszyńskiego | year = 1918 | location = Cieszyn | pages = 267, 285 | language = pl |url = http://obc.opole.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=1076 }}</ref> The village was also traditionally inhabited by [[Cieszyn Vlachs]], speaking [[Cieszyn Silesian dialect]].
After [[World War I]], fall of [[Austria-Hungary]], [[Polish–Czechoslovak War]] and the division of [[Cieszyn Silesia]] in 1920, it became a part of [[Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938)|Czechoslovakia]]. Following the [[Munich Agreement]], in October 1938 together with the [[Zaolzie]] region it was annexed by [[Second Polish Republic|Poland]], administratively adjoined to [[Cieszyn County]] of [[Silesian Voivodeship (1920–39)|Silesian Voivodeship]].<ref>{{cite journal |title= Ustawa z dnia 27 października 1938 r. o podziale administracyjnym i tymczasowej organizacji administracji na obszarze Ziem Odzyskanych Śląska Cieszyńskiego |journal= Dziennik Ustaw Śląskich|volume=18/1938, poz. 35 |date = 31 October 1938|publication-place=Katowice|url= http://www.sbc.org.pl/dlibra/plain-content?id=6949|access-date=1 July 2014|language=pl}}</ref> It was then annexed by [[Nazi Germany]] at the beginning of [[World War II]]. After the war it was restored to [[Czechoslovakia]].
Until the rapid expansion of Třinec in the 20th century, it was a larger and more populous village than Třinec.
In 1946 Lyžbice were merged with the town of Třinec and became a place where in the 1950s the ruling [[Communist Party of Czechoslovakia]] began a large scale development in the style of [[socialist realism]]. Afterwards Lyžbice became a new [[downtown]], overtaking the role from [[Staré Město (Třinec)|Staré Město]] (lit. ''Old Town'').
