Prior to 1920 it was all part of the Empire known as Austro-Hungary, but with the collapse of the empires at the end of WW1 and the redrawing of maps (not only in Europe), this town was split across the Olsa River with the west side being made Czech and the east side Polish.
This station is now Cesky Tesin and still used. In Cieszyn (pronounced similarly) there is another station which is pretty much the end of a branch line from Bielsko Biala and not substantial. It's about half a mile from the Czech one.
