History
The village was first mentioned in 1288 under the Latinized form Malewicz, and then in 1315 as Maluyewicz, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. The name of the village is of Polish origin and comes from the Polish word mały, which means "small", referring to its size. On 10 April 1741, it was the site of a battle between Prussia and Austria, won by the Prussians.
