The first chronicle mentions of Trzebież come from around 1280, when Duke Bogusław IV gave the village to a burgher from Szczecin.

From 1815, it formed part of the Province of Pomerania of the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 also of the German Empire, within which it was known as Ziegenort.

During World War II, the settlement suffered approximately 40% of its buildings (mainly the port and the sawmill).

Trzebież was occupied on April 27, 1945, by Soviet (2nd Belorussian Front – 2nd Shock Army) and Polish troops.

On 24 November 2018, as a result of arson, a several hundred-meter-long wooden walking promenade by the Szczecin Lagoon burned down.
