History

The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. In the Middle Ages, Sobienie was granted to Bishops of Poznań. It was mentioned as a possession of the bishops in the confirmation of old privileges by Duke Bolesław II of Masovia in 1297 and Duke Siemowit III in 1351.[1]

In 1827, the village had a population of 320.[1]

From 1975 to 1998 it was administratively located in Siedlce Voivodeship.
