History
After the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, the village was annexed by Prussia. In 1807, it became part of the short-lived Polish Duchy of Warsaw, and after the duchy's dissolution in 1815, it fell to the Russian Partition of Poland. Following World War I, in 1918, Poland regained independence and control of the village.
During the German occupation in World War II, in October 1939 the occupiers transferred the village to be part of the Zichenau (region) of East Prussia. German occupation ended in 1945.
