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]
