Until 1945, the market town of Kuttlau belonged to the district of Glogau in the governorate of Liegnitz in the province of Lower Silesia of the German Reich. Towards the end of the Second World War, the Red Army occupied the region in the spring of 1945. After the end of the war, Kuttlau was placed under Polish administration. The German locality was renamed to Kotla . In the aftermath, the residents were expelled by the local Polish administrative authority and replaced by Poles.
