On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Borken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Borken, 180 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which also includes the neighboring village of Borecki Dwór (Borkenhof) . Thus it is a place in the network of Gmina Ełk (rural municipality Lyck ) in powiat Ełcki (Lyck district), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
