The village of Glauch was founded by Duke Georg Friedrich von Ansbach (the Elder). On June 16, 1599 he issued the deed of foundation.

In 1874 the village was incorporated into the newly established district of Kannwiesen ( Chwalibogi in Polish , no longer existent today) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg . From 1905, the Kilischken estate (later called "Glauch mining"), which was founded in 1722, belonged to the rural community of Glauch.

The rural community of Glauch had a total of 222 inhabitants in 1910, 209 in 1933 and 196 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Glauch, 144 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
