The village lies in the southern part of Poland, not far from the industrial belt of Upper Silesia, and can be reached by local bus or car. As the seat of a local administration, it has basic services available, which makes a short stop fairly straightforward.
During the 1921 plebiscite on whether the region should join Poland or Germany, an overwhelming share of voters in Pawłowice chose Poland. This result set the village apart from a number of neighboring communities that voted differently.
