History
The area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967,[3] and following Poland's fragmentation it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania. The suffix -hagen of the former village name is typical for settlements founded by German immigrants during Medieval Ostsiedlung.[4]
During World War II, the German administration operated a forced labour subcamp of the Stalag II-D prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[5]
