Sobótka is one of the oldest villages in the region. The market and the parish church were mentioned in documents as early as 1301. Before 1463 Sobótka Wielka already had city rights and was one of the larger centers of the Powiat Kalisz. These rights were lost in the early 18th century. The city included the southern part of today's village. It was the seat of the Sobocki family ( Korab coat of arms community ).

The Sobótka estate belonged to the father of Wojciech Bogusławski ( father of the Polish theater ), then to him and came to the Stiegler family through his widow in 1839. Eduard (von) Stiegler expanded the old manor house, his wife Louise von Suchodolska laid out the landscape park in the 1840s . Heir to the estates in Sobótka and Karsy was his nephew and adoptive son Alexander von Stiegler . The latter built an eclectic castle in place of the manor house in 1898–1899 . In 2011 a fire caused considerable damage on the ground floor of the castle.

A labor camp was set up in neighboring Grudzielec from 1942 to 1943, as remembered by the graves of murdered Jews in Sobótka.

The place belonged to the Powiat Pleszewski until 1933 , 1933–1934 to the Powiat Jarociński , 1975–1998 Kalisz Voivodeship , 1934–1975 and since 1999 to the Powiat Ostrów. From 1946 to 1954 the village was the seat of Gmina Sobótka , since 1973 the rural community of Ostrów Wielkopolski.
