is a village in Beskid Śląski mountain range in Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland. It is the highest elevated village in Silesian Beskids and lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. The village is primarily known for its tradition of intricate lace-making. The name is possessive in origin derived from personal name ''Koniak''. It is conjectured that the name was conveyed by settlers from Koňákov (Koniaków) who supposedly established (or took part in the process of establishing of) the village. == History == The settlement on the territory of the village began in the first half of the 17th century. It was initiated by inhabitants of Istebna looking for new pastures and meadows, and cutting trees in the local forests to make them. This was deemed illegal by the owners of the Duchy of Teschen as the forest was a part of defensive system of the duchy in the times of Thirty Years War.〔(Historia Koniakowa wg Franciszka Popiołka: Początki wsi w obrębie Istebnej )〕 Later ''chalupy na Koniakowie'' (cottages in ''Koniaków'') were being mentioned in the documents in the years 1695-1712.〔 The year 1712 is nowadays accepted as the one the village was established, however it became independent from Istebna in 1816.〔(Historia Koniakowa wg Franciszka Popiołka: Koniaków przed stu laty )〕 The first inhabitants (from Koniaków?) lived mainly from herding cattle. After Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire a modern municipal division was introduced in the re-established Austrian Silesia. The village as a municipality was subscribed to the political district of Cieszyn and the legal district of Jablunkov. According to the censuses conducted in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910 the population of the municipality grew from 857 in 1880 to 1,120 in 1910 with all the inhabitants being native Polish-speaker. In terms of religion in 1910 the majority were Roman Catholics (88.7%), followed by Protestants (11.3%). The village was also traditionally inhabited by Silesian Gorals, speaking Jablunkov 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 Poland and was transferred to Cieszyn County. It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war it was restored to Poland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Koniaków」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
