On March 22, 1952, in the town, near the Warsaw-Białystok road, the National Military Union (NZW) patrol commanded by Stanisław Franciszek Grabowski ("Wiarus") were ambushed and killed[2]. Stanisław Grabowski was one of the longest fighting soldiers of the anti-communist underground in post-war Poland. During the tearing up of the raid, Grabowski and two other partisans (Edward Wądołowski, pseudonym "Humorek" and Lucjan Zalewski, pseudonym "Żbik") died with weapons in hand.
