The village was mentioned in 1446. In the 16th century, it was the property of Brykcy Chądzyński, then Kiszków. In 1622, Sterdyń was inherited by Anna Iwanowska from Kiszków, the wife of the cup-bearer of Drohicz Jakub Iwanowski of the Łodzia coat of arms, and then, as a dowry, it was received by the daughter of Anna and Jakub Iwanowski, Barbara, the wife of the starost of Drohicz, the castellan of Czersk Zbigniew Ossoliński. In this way, from 1643 to 1706, the village remained in the hands of the Ossolińskis. From 1709 to around 1726, it was the property of Wiktoryn Kuczyński, the castellan of Podlasie. Wiktoryn Kuczyński (born 1668), active in many fields, a participant in the political events of his time, a supporter of King Stanisław Leszczyński, exposed himself to Russian persecution - the devastation of his estates and the imprisonment of his son. Active in the field of economy, he floated grain on the Nurzec, Bug and Vistula rivers to Gdańsk with his own ships. He died in 1738 and was buried with the Benedictine nuns in Drohiczyn. In the 18th and early 19th centuries Sterdyń belonged to the Ossolińskis again, including the starost of Sulejów Stanisław Ossoliński. In 1809 Józef Wawrzyniec Krasiński married Emilia Ossolińska and received the Sterdyń estates from her hand. Józef Wawrzyniec Krasiński (1783–1845) was a writer, translator and memoirist, an activist of the Warsaw Charitable Society, decorated for his Napoleonic campaigns with the Golden Cross of Virtuti Militari and the French Legion of Honour, senator castellan of the Kingdom of Poland. Together with the hand of his daughter Paulina Sterdyń it passed in 1849 to Ludwik Górski (1818–1908), an outstanding agricultural activist, socially engaged, founder of the Agricultural Society, publicist. A devout Catholic, through his connections among cardinals he had considerable influence in Rome. Pope St. Pius X personally decorated him with the Knight's Cross of the Order of Pius IX. After Ludwik Górski's death the estate was taken over by Kazimierz Krasiński, and then by his son Franciszek Krasiński. The estate remained in the hands of the Krasińskis until the end and around 1930 it had 2,300 hectares.
