An important trade route ran along the Osława as early as the High Middle Ages. In the 14th century, the first dams were built to protect the adjacent farmland.

The Osława was first mentioned in the 14th century under this name, which goes back to the Old Slavic word osla (stone) .

Before World War II, the river became the border line when the wild border area between Poland and Lemken was established.
