History
The earliest record of the village comes from 1175.[2] The name is of Polish origin, and comes from the word wróbel, which means "sparrow". In the past, it was known in Polish as Wróblin and Wróblina.[3]
In the 1970s, a parish music orchestra was established, which includes the only rural symphony orchestra in Poland.[2]
Since 2009, in addition to the official Polish language, German has also been recognized as an additional secondary language.[4]
