History
editThe 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.
During World War II, the Germans operated a forced labour subcamp of the prison in Goleniów in the village.[3]
