In the 15th century Brzostek was a city. The name is derived from a subspecies of the mountain elm ( brzost ).
During the first partition of Poland , Brzostek came to the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). From 1855 Brzostek belonged to the Pilzno District .
After the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Brzostek came to Poland in 1918. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II .
