In the Second Polish Republic it was an independent unitary commune until 1934. Then it belonged to the collective rural Hussak commune in Mościce County in Lviv Voivodeship. In 1943–1945, Ukrainian nationalists from the OUN-UPA brutally murdered 5 Poles as a part of Volhynia genocide. After the war, the village was incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR. The parish church was closed and turned into a warehouse.
