History

The village was established as a result of administrative reform on 1 January 1973. During said reform, smaller administrative units of gromada and osiedle were replaced with larger gminas. There was a question whether to locate gmina's capital in Zbiersk, which was the biggest village of the region, but was located on its outskirts, or nearby Stawiszyn – which was located closer to gmina's center, but was a smaller town. To solve the dispute, Zbiersk was divided into Zbiersk and Zbiersk-Cukrownia along the Konin-Kalisz road. The name of the new village was derived from a local sugar refinery, established in the 19th century.
