The until 1929 Grabowken village called in 1874 to the newly established District Lucknainen ( Polish Łuknajno incorporated), which - in 1932 in "District Olschewen" and in 1938 in "District Erlenau" renamed - to 1945 to Sensburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Government District Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Grabowken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Grabowken, 240 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

On August 26, 1929, the place name Grabowken was changed to "Buchenhagen".

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name “Grabówka”. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the urban and rural municipality Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) in powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
