history
Today's small village has had several names in its history: Waldhaus Borowen (1839), Borowerwald (1871), Borower Waldkolonie (1885 to 1905), Borowerwald (1905 to 1938), and was finally renamed due to political and ideological motivation to defend against foreign sounding place name - until 1945 Prauskenwalde . Before 1945 the village consisted of scattered small farmsteads and was a residential area within the Borowen rural community (1938 to 1945 Prausken , Borowe in Polish ). In 1905 there were 172 inhabitants registered in Borowerwald.
As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name "Borowski Las". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which also includes the neighboring town of Wola Maradzka (Maratdkenwolka , Maradtken dismantling from 1938 to 1945 ) . Both are now localities within the rural municipality of Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Borowski Las counted 46 inhabitants.
