Geographical location

Upałty Małe is located in the north-east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , nine kilometers south-east of the district town of Giżycko (Lötzen) .

history

Originally, Klein Upalten (around 1818 also Klein Uppalten ) consisted only of a large farm. As a place of residence of the community (Groß) Upalten ( Polish: Upałty ) it was considered an inherited property with two fireplaces for 12 souls around 1800 . In 1905 the small town had 29 inhabitants.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish name form "Upałty Małe". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and a settlement (osada) within the Gmina Giżycko (rural community of Lötzen ) in the powiat Giżycki (district of Lötzen ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
