In 1871, it became part of Germany, then in 1920 of the Free City of Danzig (Gdańsk). During World War II, in 1939, it was annexed by Germany, which established a subcamp of the Stutthof concentration camp. Dozens of Poles were subjected to forced labour there. After Germany's defeat in the war, the village became again part of Poland.
