"Banka" was first mentioned in 1270.

The scrap wood church was built around 1500 and a bell was made for this building in 1614.

The Protestant school was inaugurated on October 22nd, 1822 by Pastor Neugebaur, an uncle of Gustav Freytag . In 1845 there was a Protestant scrap wood church, an Evangelical church, a castle and another 67 houses in the village. In the same year, 830 people lived in Bankau, 238 of them Catholic and 16 Jewish. In 1861, 938 people lived in Bankau. In 1874 the district of Bankau was formed. The first head of office was the manor owner Eduard Georg von Bethusy-Huc . In 1885 there were 1006 people in Bankau.

In 1933 there were 1,088 residents in Bankau and 1,051 in 1939. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Kreuzburg OS district

As a result of the Second World War, Bankau fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . The place was subsequently renamed Bąków and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. On October 4, 1984, a train accident occurred at Bąków station. Four people died and 60 were injured when a passenger train collided with a freight yard. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).
