History
In the early 14th-century Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis the village was mentioned under the Latinized form of its Old Polish name - Kamena. It was then part of Piast-ruled Poland.
During World War II, the Germans operated a forced labour subcamp of a Nazi prison in Wrocław in the village.[2] Following Germany's defeat in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland.
