Geographical location

Cwaliny is located in the south-east of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship, 17 kilometers south-east of the district town of Pisz ( German  Johannisburg ).

history

The village , which was founded in 1471 and called Zcwalini , after 1579 Zwallinnen , after 1785 Groß Czwalinnen , after 1871 Groß Zwalinnen , 1932 Zwalinnen was given by the Teutonic Knight Order with two hooves excess.

From 1874 to 1945 the place was incorporated into the Morgen district.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Groß Czwalinnen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Groß Czwalinnen, 160 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

From September 23, 1932 to June 3, 1938, the place name changed with the omission of the addition of "Groß Czwalinnen" to "Zwalinnen", in order to be replaced by the name "Schwallen", which probably does not sound foreign.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name Cwaliny . Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt and thus a village in the urban and rural community Biała Piska (Bialla , 1938–1945 Gehlenburg) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship belongs. In 2011, Cwaliny had 90 residents.
