History

According to the 1921 Polish census, the village had population of 332, exclusively 99.2% Polish by nationality.[2]

Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1944. In March 1944, the German occupiers and Ukrainian auxiliaries committed a massacre of six people: three Poles, two Russian prisoners-of-war and one Jew.[3]
