The area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967,[2][3] and following Poland's fragmentation it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania and became known as Stolzenhagen. During the Thirty Years' War, the settlement fell to the Swedish Empire. Later on, it passed to Prussia. From 1871, it was part of Germany until the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II in 1945 when the area was reintegrated back into Poland.
