The village was established in the course of Josephine colonization by German Roman Catholic settlers in 1783.^[2] In the planning process the village was to have a Catholic church built, which, however, did not happen.^[3]

From 1918 to 1939 the village was in Lwów Voivodeship in Poland. In 1940 the local German population was moved out (Heim ins Reich), later replaced by Ukrainians.
