The village was established in the course of Josephine colonization by German Roman Catholic settlers in 1783.[2] It was arranged in an unusual manner, within a pentagon, the only such colony in Galicia.[3] In the planning process the village was to have a Catholic church built, which, however, did not happen until 1846.[4][5]
From 1918 to 1939 the village was in Lwów Voivodeship in Poland. In 1936 the name of the municipality was changed to Równe.[5] In January 1940 the local German population was moved out (Heim ins Reich), later replaced by Ukrainians.
