During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1942, the German gendarmerie and Einsatzkompanie Thorn carried out expulsions of Poles, who were placed either in the Potulice concentration camp, in a transit camp in Toruń or in a Germanisation camp in Jabłonowo-Zamek.[2] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3]
Several adjacent settlements are considered part of Grzybno: Bobak, Chiny, Garwolin, Korea, Pod Głażewo, Pod Siemion, Pod Unisław.[4]
