Boguszowice, existing from the Middle Ages, was an urban-type settlement and in years 1962-1975 a separate town. Stare, meaning literally Old, was added in 1975 when Boguszowice was amalgamated with Rybnik and split to form its two separate districts:
- Boguszowice Stare, encompassing the oldest part of the settlement, including the Sacred Heart church;
- Boguszowice Osiedle, consisting of large working class housing estates;
