The village was first mentioned in a document of the Wrocław cathedral chapter from 1305, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland.[2]
There is a memorial to Wacław Koler, 16th-century philologist and physician, one of the pioneers of Polish Hellenic studies and one of Poland's first numismatists, who was born in the village.
