The village was originally called Nowa Ruda (New Rudna) - Old Polish ruda meaning ore – to distinguish it from the neighbouring small village of Stara Rudna (Old Rudna). Originated about 1280, it was not mentioned before 1347 in a deed of Charles IV of Luxemburg, at this time King of Bohemia, as a town within the Duchy of Ścinawa (Steinau).
After World War II, the village lost its town rights and became part of the now-defunct Legnica Voivodeship.
