According to linguist Heinrich Adamy, the name of the village comes from the Polish word piasek, which means "sand". Since the Middle Ages, it was part of Piast-ruled Poland. Later on, it was also part of Bohemia (Czechia), Prussia and Germany. Following Germany's defeat in World War II, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland.
