Těšínsko is a region in the southeastern part of Silesia, where the Olza river traverses. In the thirteenth century the region became a principality. After the breakdown of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire the region was split between the newly created states of Czechoslovakia and Poland in 1920.Naming citation (20030318/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
