History

[edit]

The origins of the village date back to 1561, when brothers Paweł and Stańko Markowicz from nearby Niedźwiedzkie bought land to establish a village.[2] Initially it was named Markowice after the founders.[3] For centuries, it remained an ethnically Polish village, and as of 1600, it had an exclusively Polish population.[2]
