The oldest known mention of the village comes from a document of Duke Władysław Odonic from 1210, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland.

Włoszakowice was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1945 and local Poles were subjected to various atrocities.
