history

The former Borckowinnen was founded in 1565 and before 1945 consisted of scattered small farms. On 27 May 1874, the village in the newly built office district was Lakellen integrated, the - renamed in 1938 in the district of Schönhofen (Ostpr.) - existed until 1945 and the county Oletzko - 1933-1945 County Treuburg called - in the government district Gumbinnen of belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia .

141 inhabitants were registered in Borkowinnen in 1910. Their number was 140 in 1933 and 120 in 1939.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Borkowinnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Borkowinnen, 115 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938 (officially confirmed on July 6), Borkowinnen was renamed to Jarken for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names .

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Borkowiny . Today the place is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo) and a place in the network of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in Powiat Olecki , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship belongs.
