Before its inception in 1951, Tychy was famed for the beer of its local brewery. The new town was a socialist public-works project which aimed to accommodate 130,000 industrial workers such as the miners of Upper Silesia. It would also alleviate the housing shortage in the Upper Silesia region. The town was located between Lake Paprocańskie and a large park.

Osiedle A was one of the first neighbourhoods built in the new town. Designed by Tadeusz Teodorowicz-Todorowski, the neighbourhood was moderately dense with apartments surrounding green spaces. Industry continued to expand throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s, requiring a larger workforce. By 2006 the city had attracted 132,000 permanent residents.

Since 1999, Tychy has had city status and continues to celebrate its local beer, Tyskie, which it immortalised with the creation of a museum in 2004.
