It formerly existed as an autonomous municipality, but on 1 January 2006 was merged with Bollion, into the larger Lully.{{cite web|title=Décret relatif à la fusion des communes de Bollion, Lully et Seiry|url=http://www.fr.ch/publ/files/pdf12/2005_062_f.pdf |format=pdf |work=Registre Officiel de Fribourg|publisher=Canton de Fribourg|access-date=28 November 2012|language=fr|date=21 June 2005}} Seiry first appears in 1180 CE as Seirie.
