In 1491 the village of Klein Konopken was founded and in 1874 it was incorporated into the administrative district of Groß Konopken (in Polish Konopki Wielkie ). 1938 renamed "District Hanffen" this existed 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 .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Klein Konopken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Klein Konopken, 180 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 18, 1929, Klein Konopken was renamed Waldfließ . In 1945 it came to Poland as a result of the war with all of southern East Prussia and since then has borne the Polish form of name Konopki Małe. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) and a district of the rural community Miłki (Milken) in the powiat Giżycki, before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.
