The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century.

Since 1871, the village, known in German as Linde, belonged to Germany, within which it formed part of the Flatow district in the administrative regions of Posen-West Prussia and Pomerania.

In the 19th century, potato cultivation was an essential livelihood for the residents, whose products went as far as the Ruhr area and the Netherlands.

A starch factory, building material works, a brickworks and a dairy were some other businesses in the village.

During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was the site of a temporary camp for arrested Poles from the region, including activists, teachers and priests, who were afterwards deported to concentration camps (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).
