History.
First mention of the settlement of "Biertułtowy" (which now makes the center of Radlin) comes from 1305, as "Bertholdi villa". The very name Radlin probably comes from the Polish word "radło", which means ard. In the 19th century, Radlin was one of the biggest villages of the Rybnik County of the Kingdom of Prussia. Like other locations of Upper Silesia, it grew in the 19th century, when several enterprises were opened there – "Coal Mine Marcel", "Coke Plant Radlin". In 1922, after Silesian Uprisings, it became part of Poland.
