Until the Partitions of Poland Szpików was part of the Bracław Voivodeship of the Lesser Poland Province of the Polish Crown. It was a small town, owned by the houses of Ostrogski, Zamoyski, Koniecpolski, Potocki and Świejkowski[2]. Leonard Marcin Świejkowski built a Baroque palace in Szpików.

It formerly had a significant Jewish community, which numbered 1,875 in 1900.
