history

In 1701 the village of Karpa was founded as a box settlement. Between 1874 and 1945 the place was incorporated into the administrative district Turośl ( Polish Turośl ).

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Karpa belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Karpa, 200 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On June 3, 1938 Karpa was foreign-sounding place names in "Karpen" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed . The population was 378 in 1939.

Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . The number of inhabitants was 180 in 2011.
