History

The area became part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century. Following Poland's fragmentation, it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania. From the 18th century it was part of the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 it was also part of Germany, within which it was administratively part of the province of Pomerania. In the 1920s Lyonel Feininger often came to the village to paint and reside.

Following Germany's defeat in World War II in 1945, the area became again part of Poland in accordance to the Potsdam Conference. The first postwar Poland's Wedding to the Sea was performed in Mrzeżyno on 17 March 1945.
