Český Těšín has served as a Czech border town in the historic region of Cieszyn Silesia since 1920. The Olza River forms the frontier with Poland, separating it from Cieszyn while linking the two towns through bridges and a shared regional identity. The division followed the post-First World War settlement of the former Duchy of Cieszyn, whose multicultural traditions remain part of local life. Těšín Theatre, home to both Czech and Polish-language ensembles, reflects the area’s close cross-border ties.
