From 1874 to 1945 it was incorporated into the Babken District ( Babki Gąseckie in Polish ), which - renamed "Babeck District" in 1938 - belonged to the Oletzko district (1933 to 1945: Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

With its localities Kiöwenhorst ( Polish: Wólka Kijewska ) and Lakommen ( Łakome , no longer existent), Kiöwen had a total of 316 inhabitants on December 1, 1910.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kiöwen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kiöwen 283 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On September 30, 1928, the rural community of Kiöwen expanded to include the neighboring estate of Klein Gonschorowen (1938 to 1945: Kleinkiöwen, Polish Gąsiorówko). The population rose to 420 by 1933 and was 413 in 1939.

As a result of the war, Kiöwen came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Kijewo”. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and thus a place in the network of the urban and rural community Olecko (Marggrabowa , 1928 to 1945 Treuburg) in the Powiat Olecki ( Oletzko district , Treuburg district from 1933 to 1945 ), until 1998 the Suwałki voivodeship , since then part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
