History
The name of the village is of Polish origin and comes from the old Polish word strzelec, which means "hunter" or "archer".[2] The local parish church was established probably in the 13th century.[3] In the past, the village was divided into three parts.[3] In 1885, all three parts combined had a population of 1,229.[3]
