The small town called Labendzöwen before 1785 originally consisted of a few small farms. In 1874 he was in the newly built office district Klawsdorf ( Polish Klewno incorporated) that the county Rößel in Administrative district Königsberg (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged. The population of Labendzowo was: 1820 = 46, 1885 = 89, 1905 = 41, 1910 = 61.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Labendzowo, 40 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not.

On October 17, 1928, the two manor districts Kattmedien (Polish: Kocibórz ) and Legienen ( Leginy ) were incorporated into the rural community of Lebendzowo. At the same time, the community Labendzowo was renamed "Legienen", while the Labendzowo residential area on November 26, 1932 was given the changed place name "Schwanau". Previously, the newly named rural community Legienen was reclassified to the Loszainen District (Polish: Łężany ) on March 11, 1930 .
