Settlements on the area of Stronie land were first acknowledged in 13th century. In the Middle Ages settlements on the upper part of Biała Lądecka stopped at the height of Stare Gierałtowo. People lived off agriculture mainly.

Between the years 1525 – 1618, after hussite wars, the number of residents grew significantly. People of newly risen villages earned their living from local developing industry, handcraft, forests cutting and a bit from agriculture. Mining was the main factor of development and new clearings were taken mainly by miners, steel workers and woodcutters.

The next phase of colonization (frederiquan) falls for the years 1773 – 1806, when numerous mountain settlements have sprung out. Such structure was preserved, with little change, until 20th century.

In 19th century borders between Stronie Śląskie, Strachocin and Goszów became unclear, thus creating one settlement with characteristics of a town. It was here where the royal goods key and huge glass works were located and, in 1967, due to constant development, Stronie Śląskie was granted the rights of a town.
