==Storja==
The area around Katowice, [[Upper Silesia]], was inhabited by ethnic Silesians since the early centuries. It was first ruled by the Polish Silesian [[Piasts]] [[dynasty]] until its extinction, later falling into the [[Habsburg]] domains. The city itself was founded in the 19th century, a period while the area was under [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussian]] rule, and Katowice gained city status in [[1865]]. Inhabited mainly by  Germans, [[Silesia]]ns , Jews and Poles, Katowice became part of the [[Second Polish Republic]] following the [[Silesian Uprisings]] throughout the Silesian region between [[1918]] and [[1921]]. The land was subsequently divided by an allied commission, leaving ''Kattowitz'' on the Polish side and with significant autonomy.

The city flourished due to large mineral (especially [[coal]]) deposits in the nearby mountains. Extensive city growth and prosperity depended on coal mining and steel industries, which took off during the [[Industrial Revolution]]. But recently, due to [[economic]] reforms there is a shift away from [[heavy industry]], and towards [[small businesses]].

Between [[1953]]-[[1956]] it was renamed ''Stalinogród'' - "[[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]] City" by [[Polish communists]].

Severe [[ecological damage]] to the [[natural environment]] occurred during the post-[[Second World War]] time of communist governance in the [[People's Republic of Poland]], but recent changes in regulations, procedures and policies of [[History of Poland (1989-present)|post-communist Polish government]] have reversed much of the harm that was done.
