As part of the region of Greater Poland, i.e. the cradle of the Polish state, the area formed part of Poland since its establishment in the 10th century. It was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Poznań County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[2] The last owners of the village and palace, until 1939, were the Mielżyński family. Afterwards, Iwno was converted into a premier horse farm and riding school.
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), the local school principal and the local estate administrator were among the victims of a massacre of Poles committed by the Germans in nearby Kostrzyn on 20 October 1939, as part of the genocidal Intelligenzaktion campaign.[3][4]
