History

A 5th-century vessel from Resko, from the collection of the National Museum in Szczecin

The first unsuccessful attempt to grant a town charter occurred in 1255. Town rights were eventually granted according to various sources either in 1277, 1280 or 1288. The town suffered from fires in 1593, 1630, 1659, 1694 and 1716. It was most devastated by the Russians during the Seven Years' War of 1756–1763, and the town hall archive was burned.

During World War II, the German administration operated a forced labour subcamp of the Stalag II-D prisoner-of-war camp in the town.
