Although there was already a stronghold here in the 7th century, Ujście was founded in the 12th century. From that time until the end of the 18th century, until the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, the town was situated within the borders of the Polish state.

In 1920, the city was divided into two parts, village Deutsch Usch (smaller part, Germany) and town Ujście/Usch (greater part, Poland).[2] In 1945, Ujście was completely within the borders of Poland, and then united into one town.
