      city, Śląskie województwo (province), southern Poland. It lies on the Bielsko-Biała rail line on the southern edge of the Upper Silesia industrial district and is surrounded by the Pszczyna forests.

      Tychy was early known for its beer, its first brewery having opened in 1629, and, later, for automobile manufacturing. In 1951 the town of Nowe (New) Tychy was begun as part of a socialist public-works project designed to accommodate 130,000 industrial workers and alleviate the housing shortage in the Upper Silesia industrial region. The new town was built to provide good housing for the miners of Upper Silesia; it is completely residential and well-sited, with Lake Paprocańskie at one end and a large park at the other. The new and old towns are under one administration. Pop. (2002) 132,816.
