history

The place called Jawer before 1540 was founded in 1437. In 1785 it was named as a Köllmisches village with 40 fire places, in 1818 also with 54 fire places with 290 souls.

It was a widely scattered village when it became an official village on March 29, 1874, giving it its name to an administrative district . This lasted until 1945 and was part of the circle Lötzen in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905 to 1945: Administrative district Allenstein ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

From 1874 to 1945, Groß Jauer was also the seat of its own registry office . In 1910 the village had 479 inhabitants, in 1933 there were 452 and in 1939 there were 409 inhabitants.

As a result of the war, Groß Jauer came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name "Jora Wielka". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and a place in the network of the urban and rural municipality Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) , "changed" from the Lötzen district to the Powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Voivodeship Belonging to Warmia-Masuria .
