History
Historically, the village was known in Polish as both Cimochy and Czymochy.[2] As of 1600, the population of the village was exclusively Polish.[3]
During World War II, the Polish resistance carried out acts of sabotage against Nazi Germany. In 1944, the Polish Home Army twice damaged a sawmill that produced timber for the German Army, and mined railroad tracks, causing a freight train to derail.[4]
