In 1600, the population of the village was solely Polish.[1] In 1620, Polish Royal secretary Stefan Sadorski obtained 19 włókas of land in Łyna.[1] Various Polish noble families lived in the village throughout centuries, incl. the Chmielewski, Krasiński, Michałowski and Węgierski families.[1] In 1857, it had a population of 239.[1]
The Battle of Tannenberg took place nearby in August 1914 during World War I.
