History
The settlement was first mentioned in the 14th century. It was granted town rights in 1531 by King Sigismund I the Old. It was a private town, administratively located in the Szreńsk County in the Płock Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. It lost its town rights following a devastating Swedish occupation.

In 1921, it had a population of 1,092, entirely Polish by nationality and Catholic by confession.

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1941, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were deported to forced labour, while their houses and farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.

In 2019, town rights were restored.
