history

Between 1874 and 1905 Gorlowken was the seat of a registry office , after which the village was incorporated into the registry office Jucha (1938 to 1945: Fließdorf, Polish Stare Juchy ).
On December 1, 1910, 415 inhabitants were registered in Gorlovken, in 1933 there were 418.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which the Gorlowks belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Gorlowken, 320 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not.
For political and ideological reasons of the defense against foreign-sounding place names, Gorlowken was renamed "Gorlau" on August 18, 1938 . The population was 401 in 1939.
As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 like all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Gorłówko”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a village in the rural community of Stare Juchy (Jucha , 1938 to 1945 Fließdorf) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
