The village in 1510 belonged to the Standnyckyj family and in 1581 a Greek Catholic priest was known to have been in the parish. In 1873 there was a cholera epidemic, in 1887 the crops were ruined by a “great Freeze”, in 1889 the locality was struck by drought and in 1899 and 1934 floods greatly damaged the village.


In 1918, under the leadership of the pastor, A Rus’ka narodna rada was formed, with the intention of forming a Lemko Republic joined to Czechoslovakia, but this was soon liquidated by the Polish Government.
