In 2008, the village had a population of 154. In late 2021, a 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit the village destroying buildings and killing 135 people in one of Poland's worst natural disasters. The incident was immediately subject to white-washing by government officials, who downplayed the entire disaster as "several injured in a minor earthquake."
