History
The village could have been first mentioned in a Latin document of Diocese of Wrocław called Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305 as Friczkonis villa.
Politically the village belonged initially to the Duchy of Racibórz (in 1377 it was merged with Duchy of Opava, in 1491 Wodzisław was separated, including Skrzeczkowice), within feudally fragmented Poland. In 1327 the duchy became a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg Monarchy. After Silesian Wars it became a part of the Kingdom of Prussia.
As a private village it was sold in 1323 by a knight Piotr Steiner to somebody called Jeske-Riske. Henceforth the ownership was changing numerous times. In 1818 the territorial administration in Prussian Silesia was re-organized. Skrzeczkowice became a part of Rybnik County. In 1840 the village had 109 inhabitants, living in 17 houses, in 1890 it was 60 and in 1906 only 48. This number grew after parcellation of land in 1904, when 9 ethnic Germans settled here (another settled in Borynia Górna and Osiny). In 1910 30% of the inhabitants declared using only German-language, another 22% using both Polish and German, combined it was the highest percentage of German-speakers in Rybnik County.
After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite 49 out of 76 voters in Skrzeczkowice voted in favour of staying in Germany, against 27 who opted for joining Poland. It became later a part of Silesian Voivodeship, Second Polish Republic. Around 80% of local Germans moved out, afterwards the village had about 330 inhabitants. It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war it was restored to Poland. In 1954 it became a part of a municipality with the seat in Borynia. In 1975 it was together with Borynia and Szeroka absorbed by Jastrzębie-Zdrój. In a local referendum held in 2000 the inhabitants of Borynia, Szeroka and Skrzeczkowice voted in favour of remaining within the city.
