The village is situated in the Silesian Beskids mountain range, near the borders with the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia.The name is cultural in origin, derived from the word (j)istba, meaning a room in a (especially rural) house (see also izba).[2][1] It belonged then to the Duchy of Teschen, a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia and a part of the Habsburg monarchy.According to censuses conducted in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910, the population of the municipality grew from 2,112 in 1880 to 2,245 in 1910, with the majority being native Polish-speakers (between 98.2% and 99.5%), accompanied by German-speaking (at most 33 or 1.5% in 1890) and Czech-speaking people (at most 15 or 0.7% in 1880).[3] The village was also traditionally inhabited by Silesian Gorals, speaking Jablunkov dialect.
