The name of the village comes from the Polish word rąbać ("chop"), referring to chopping trees.
Its oldest form was Rąbyn.
In the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1300 the village was mentioned under the Latinized name Rabysow.

Before 1945 the village was German-settled and part of the German state of Prussia.
During World War II, the Germans created a forced labour camp for English, Yugoslav and French prisoners of war in the village.
In the final stages of World War II, in January-February 1945, in the Rębiszów forest, the Germans carried out executions of forced laborers and prisoners of war, who were caught trying to escape from German labor camps.
