History

In 1867, it had a population of 117, solely Catholic by confession.
During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the Germans carried out arrests of local Polish leaders and activists. The seven-member family of Chamier-Gliszczyński fled persecution to Borzechowo, but they were also captured there by the German police, then imprisoned in Starogard Gdański and murdered in the Szpęgawski Forest.
