History

The territory became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967. Following the fragmentation of Poland, it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania until 1637. During World War II, in May 1943, the Germans established the Stalag Luft 7 prisoner-of-war camp for Allied POWs in the village. In 1944, it was relocated to Bąków. Following Germany's defeat in the war, the territory became again part of Poland.
