A private noble village named Arciechowo was located in the second half of the 16th century in the Kamieńczyk County of the Mazovian Voivodeship.[3] From 1975 to 1998, the village was part of the Warsaw Voivodeship.
Until 1992, the village of Arciechów was part of the parish of Serock.[4] For several decades in the 20th century, a permanent ferry crossing operated from Arciechów to Serock across the Narew River. In 2019, after a long break, a holiday catamaran ferry service was launched on the same route. They take place every weekend of the holiday season and are very popular among tourists.[1]
