History

The village was first mentioned as Schukaw in the first half of the 13th century. Politically the village belonged then to the Duchy of Opole and Racibórz, within feudally fragmented Poland. In 1327 Upper Silesian duchies became a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg Monarchy. After Silesian Wars it became a part of the Kingdom of Prussia.

After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite 652 out of 959 voters in Czuchów voted in favour of joining Poland, against 305 who opted for staying in Germany.[2] The village became a part of autonomous Silesian Voivodeship in Second Polish Republic. It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war it was restored to Poland.

gollark: I also can't get Linux to recognize the existence of the power button, but that's not a huge issue.
gollark: The display can rotate 180 degrees because of a neat hinge mechanism, but it also has a TN panel which is barely viewable 45 degrees off the right angle.
gollark: There are access panels on the bottom for the RAM and disk, suggesting they wanted to make it easy to maintain, but it also has some bizarre plastic clip things which are very annoying to remove.
gollark: Only one DIMM is soldered, there's an empty slot, it is very weird.
