In the early 12th century, the territory formed part of Poland, and following the country's fragmentation into smaller duchies, it formed part of the
Duchy of Pomerania The Duchy of Pomerania (; ; Latin: ''Ducatus Pomeraniae'') was a duchy in Pomerania on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea, ruled by dukes of the House of Pomerania (''Griffins''). The country existed in the Middle Ages between years 1121–11 ...

s. In the following centuries, Trzebież developed as a typical settlement on the Szczecin Lagoon. In the 18th century, the village gained its own self-government. From 1815, it formed part of the Province of Pomerania of the

, within which it was known as ''Ziegenort''. At the end of the 19th century, passenger and transit ports, as well as a shipyard, were built here. After 1898, Trzebież gained a railway connection with Police, and in 1910 a regular passenger connection was launched. By 1930, the waters of the lagoon revealed a beach of clean sand. This initiated the development of tourism. During

, and changed its name to the Polish ''Trzebież'', however, it was initially administered by the Soviets as part of the so-called Enclave of Police. It was placed under Polish administration in September 1946 after the liquidation of the so-called enclave.Encyklopedia Szczecina. T. Suplement 1. Szczecin: Uniwersytet Szczeciński, 2003, p. 273. ISBN 83-7241-272-3. (pol.). For several post-war months, the village was called Zatoka by the first Polish settlers. In 1946, the Zaodrzańskie Forest Management Board was established here, later transformed into the Trzebież Forest District. By 1948, the port, shipyards and sawmill were reopened, and the "Certa" fishing cooperative was established. The settlement began to develop dynamically. Trzebież's greatest prosperity took place in the 1970s it was then the largest Polish port on the Szczecin Lagoon.Czesław Piskorski, Pomorze Zachodnie, mały przewodnik, Warsaw: Wyd. Sport i Turystyka Warsaw, 1980, pp. 292–293, ISBN 83-217-2292-X, OCLC 8032482. Administratively, it was located until 1975 in the "large" and then until 1998 in the "small" Szczecin Voivodeship. On 24 November 2018, as a result of arson, a several hundred-meter-long wooden walking promenade by the Szczecin Lagoon burned down.
