History
The territory became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967.[2] Following the fragmentation of Poland, it was part of the Duchy of Pomerania. In the 13th century, the village was transferred by the Bishop of Cammin to the Hindenburg family, who originated from Brandenburg.[3]
During World War II, the Germans operated a forced labour subcamp of the prison in Goleniów in the village.[4]
