In 1347 Balenthin is mentioned for the first time in a document. In this document, the Swenzonen Jasco von Slaw and his son Peter recognize the arbitration ruling of the Camminer Bishop Johann I von Sachsen-Lauenburg in a dispute with their lords .

In 1655 the widow and heirs of Nikolaus von Below from Wusterwitz (Ostrowiec) are the owners. A short time later Adam von Podewils auf Krangen (Krąg) bought the village and it remained in the possession of this family until 1858.

In 1784 Balenthin had a Vorwerk , nine farmers, three Kossäten , a schoolmaster, a lime kiln and animal husbandry, and fishing in the Grabow.

In 1858 Oskar Schimmelpfennig bought the estate . At the end of the 19th century, the princes of Pless in Upper Silesia took over the estate, but sold it again before the First World War . The Balenthin estate was relocated.

In 1818, 84 people lived here. Their number rose to 201 in 1871, but then dropped to 117 by 1939.

Before 1945 Balenthin belonged together with the district Balenthin (Pachthof) (Białęciniec) (the Vorwerk Balenthin (Białęcinko) belonged to Wusterwitz since 1928) to the district Wusterwitz (Ostrowiec) in the district of Schlawe i.

In mid-1946, Polish farmers took over the farms. Balenthin came as Białęcino to Gmina Malechowo in the powiat Sławieński of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (until 1998 Köslin Voivodeship ).
