== History ==
The village was first mentioned in a Latin document of [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław|Diocese of Wrocław]] called ''[[Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis]]'' from around 1305 as ''item in '''Warsowitz''' debent esse triginta novem mansi''.<ref>{{cite book |first=Wilhelm |last=Schulte |author-link=Wilhelm Schulte |title=Codex Diplomaticus Silesiae T.14 Liber Fundationis Episcopatus Vratislaviensis|place=Breslau |year=1889 |url= http://www.wbc.poznan.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=19747&from=publication | language = de}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.dokumentyslaska.pl/cds%2014/liber.html|title=Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis |access-date=13 July 2014|language=la}}</ref> The creation of the village was a part of a larger settlement campaign taking place in the late 13th century on the territory of what will be later known as [[Upper Silesia]].

Politically the village belonged initially to the [[Duchy of Racibórz]], since 1327 a [[Fee (feudal tenure)|fee]] of the [[Kingdom of Bohemia]]. During the political upheaval caused by [[Matthias Corvinus]] the land around [[Pszczyna]] was overtaken by [[Casimir II, Duke of Cieszyn]], who sold it in 1517 to the Hungarian [[magnate]]s of the [[Thurzó]] family, forming the [[Duchy of Pless|Pless]] [[state country]]. In the accompanying sales document issued on 21 February 1517 the village was mentioned as ''Wrssowicze''.<ref>{{cite journal |last= Musioł|first= Ludwik|date= 1930|title= Dokument sprzedaży księstwa pszczyńskiego z dn. 21. lutego 1517 R.|url= http://www.sbc.org.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=9512&from=publication|journal= Roczniki Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk na Śląsku|location= Katowice |publisher= nakł.

In the [[War of the Austrian Succession]] most of Silesia was conquered by the [[kingdom of Prussia]], including the village. After [[World War I]] and [[Upper Silesia plebiscite]] it became a part of [[Silesian Voivodeship (1920–39)|Silesian Voivodeship]], [[Second Polish Republic]]. It was then annexed by [[Nazi Germany]] at the beginning of [[World War II]]. After the war it was restored to Poland.
