history

In the course of the 3rd partition of Poland , the region came to Prussia in 1795 . In 1807 it became part of the Duchy of Warsaw installed by Napoleon and in 1815 part of the Congress Poland, which belonged to the Tsarist Empire . Occupied by Germans in 1917 and fought over in the Polish-Soviet War in 1919/1920 , the area became part of the Second Polish Republic .

During the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1939 and by the Wehrmacht from 1941 to 1944 . In the forest near Pniewo Jews and Poles were shot by Germans from 1941 to 1943. Up to 400 people are said to be in the mass graves.

From 1975 to 1998 the rural community belonged to the Łomża Voivodeship .
