Mokre (German: Mokrau) is a sołectwo in the west of Mikołów, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland.[1] It was an independent village but became administratively part of Mikołów in 1975.[2]

History

The local parish was mentioned in 1337, and in 1422 the village belonged to a knight Piotr Kiczka.[3]

After World War I in the Upper Silesia plebiscite 890 out of 1164 voters in Mokre voted in favour of joining Poland, against 269 opting for staying in Germany.[4]
