The village is first mentioned in 1406 as Polish in Wirbicz . The place name is derived from the Polish word wierzby (dt. Pasture ). The Slavic name Wierzbica therefore means pasture village .
In 1719 the foundation stone for the half-timbered church was laid. At the end of 1719 the first service was celebrated in the church. The late baroque Würbitz Castle was built in 1791.
In 1811 a sugar factory was built in Würbitz, Poland, which was one of the first in Silesia. In 1845 the Polish name of the village is mentioned as Polska Wierzbica . In the same year there was a castle, a Protestant church, a Protestant school, a distillery and a brick factory in the village. In 1845, 1020 people lived in Polish Würbitz, 90 of them Catholic and nine Jewish. In 1860 a new stone school was built in the village. In 1861 there were 1175 people in Polish Würbitz. In 1874 the district of Polish Würbitz was founded. The first head of office was the rent master Wilhelm Schwinge.
In 1911 the rural community of Polish Würbitz was renamed Würbitz . In 1933, 1147 people lived in Würbitz. On May 27, 1936, the name of the place was changed to Oberweiden OS . In 1939 there were 1303 people in Oberweiden OS. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Kreuzburg OS district
As a result of the Second World War, Oberweiden OS fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . The place was subsequently renamed Wierzbica Górna and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. 1999 Wąsice came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).
