History

The Klimontów Coal Mine was built in 1908.

During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, in September 1939, the Germans carried out a massacre of nine Poles (eight men and one woman) in Klimontów (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation). The German occupiers also established and operated two forced labour subcamps of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp for Allied POWs in Klimontów.
