History
The area became part of the Duchy of Poland under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967,[3] and following Poland's fragmentation it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania, and then passed under the suzerainty of Denmark and the Holy Roman Empire. From 1701 it formed part of the Kingdom of Prussia. Two Polish citizens were murdered by Nazi Germany in the village during World War II.[4]
