Origin/meaning
Cieszyn was founded in the 8th century but became a town before 1263. The name of the town derives from Polish names of Cieszan or Cieszko. The arms of the town were granted in the 14th century. It consists of a castle with an open gate situated on a river (Cieszyn is situated on the Olza River). Over the castle there is a yellow eagle, the symbol of Upper Silesia to which the Duchy of Cieszyn belonged in the Middle Ages.
