From 1871 to 1945 the area was part of Germany. After World War II the region became part of Poland, according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The German population was expelled and replaced with Poles, many of whom were expelled from pre-war Eastern Polish territories annexed by the Soviet Union.
In Kinice there is a Catholic church of Our Lady of Help to the Faithful, subordinate to the parish in nearby Nowogródek Pomorski. [3]
