Before the Second World War it was a Ukrainian village with several Polish families. The village included a colony, inhabited mostly by Poles.

On 2.09.1943, the village was raided and 20 Polish families were murdered by the Ukrainian army and local Ukrainians. The victims were buried in a common grave.

On 4 or 6 September 1943, after murdering Poles in the nearby village of Osiecznik, the Ukrainian army attacked Poles in the village of Wierzbiczno and murdered about 10 people. The victims were thrown into a ditch with water in the forest just behind the Głowiński property. Some time later, the corpses were covered with earth and to mark the spot, Ukrainian Miron Boć (later a teacher) and his mother planted a currant bush on the grave.

After the Second World War, Miron Boć looked after the graves of Poles in Wierzbno and the surrounding area (Wierzbno colony, Osiecznik, the forest around the village and the colony). In the 1990s, this Ukrainian fenced off the graves in the village and colony, placed crosses on them with plaques containing the names of the murdered and brought in a priest to consecrate the graves.
