In 1827 it was recorded that the population of the village numbered at 93 and 13 homes and in 1880 it was numbered at 182 people and 27 homes.
On 23 June 1944 at 4 a.m. the German military police entered the village and pacified it. The inhabitants were ordered to leave their homes, after which 53 people were loaded onto trucks and taken to concentration camps. The village was almost completely burnt down. Out of 43 households only 5 are left. In the village there is a stone with an engraved inscription commemorating the event.
