History edit
For a long period, Ligota Tworkowska was linked with Tworkow as an estate. During the 16th century, it changed ownership several times, and in 1643, it came into the possession of Stanislaw von Reiswic. On April 27, 1841, Ligota Tworkowska, along with Bukow and other villages, was acquired by Count Jan Gustaw von Saurma-Jeltsch. During the interwar period, an outpost of the First Line Border Guard "Ligota" was stationed in the village.[2] From 1975 to 1998, it was administratively part of the Katowice Voivodeship.
