History
The earliest mention of the village comes from 1280, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland.
During the German occupation ( World War II), in October and November 1939, Otorowo was the site of large massacres of hundreds of Poles from Otorowo and other nearby villages, carried out by the German Einsatzkommando 16 as part of the Intelligenzaktion.
