The founding date of the then Glodowen village is October 12, 1566. The place name changed to Willamowen (after 1785), Jackunowken (after 1871) and Jakunowken (until 1938). At that time it was the largest village in the parish Kutten (Polish: Kuty). There were many forest workers and fishermen among the inhabitants. They lived in 96 houses with 97 households.

The village was previously described as "graceful and friendly". The farms were all surrounded by tree gardens. In the middle of the village was a lake rich in fish. Water and fire have wreaked havoc throughout history. In 1844 the small river that runs through Jakunowken became a torrent that covered many vegetable gardens and the small lake with a layer of mud 2 to 3 feet high. There were four fires between 1868 and 1869 and two in 1879. In 1883 four houses burned down. Further fires followed in 1884, 1885 and 1886. On New Year's Eve 1866 a great accident occurred when seven fishermen from Jakunowken who had fished near Kruglanken (Kruklanki) drowned and left 30 orphans on the crossing near Eschenort (Jasieniec in Polish) .

From 1874 to 1945 Jakunowken was in the District cowls integrated, the for loop Angerburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

On June 3, 1938, Jakunowken was renamed "Jakunen". As a result of the war, the village came to Poland with southern East Prussia in 1945 and has since been known as “Jakunówko” in Polish. Today the village is a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ), which is responsible for Jakunówko and Jakunowska góra and belongs to the association of the rural community Pozezdrze (Possessern , 1938 to 1945 Großgarten) in the powiat Węgorzewski (district of Angerburg ), before 1998 the Voivodeship Suwałki , since then Assigned to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
