Kukowen consisted of a village and an estate district. On December 1, 1910 it had a total of 714 inhabitants (village = 614, estate = 95). On September 30, 1928, the manor district was incorporated into the rural community. The total population was 598 in 1933 and 627 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Kukowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Kukowen, 417 residents voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938, Kukowen was renamed "Reinkental" for political and ideological reasons to avoid foreign-sounding place names.

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Kukowo".
