The settlement was first mentioned in a 1368 deed issued by John I of Opava, Duke of Racibórz. Conquered by Prussia in 1742 and incorporated into the Silesia Province, Bojszowy passed to the Second Polish Republic upon the 1921 Upper Silesian plebiscite. From 1977 until 1991 it was part of the neighbouring Tychy municipality.
