History

In the late 19th century, the village had a population of 135.[2]

During the German occupation (World War II), on December 1, 1939, the Germans carried out a massacre of 22 Poles from the nearby town of Gostynin in the local forest, as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[3] Among the victims were mayor Michał Jarmoliński, member of Polish parliament Andrzej Czapski, chiefs of the town's police and fire department, teachers and priests.[3]
