Klein Lattana was a settlement in the meliorated Lattanabruch. In the founding hand- fest on July 14, 1814, 14 Kätner were granted proportionate Lattanabruch land. A place of very scattered small courtyards was created.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population voted in the referendums in East and West Prussia on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Klein Lattana, 120 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland had 2 votes.

On June 3, 1938 - officially confirmed on July 16 - Klein Lattana was renamed "Kleinheidenau" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. In 1939 the village had 147 inhabitants.

As a result of the war, Kleinheidenau came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name “Łatana Mała”.

In 2011 the village had 53 inhabitants.
