In 1924 a small settlement was established in Kuhnau. In 1933 there were 1,304 people in Kuhnau. In 1936 the youth home in the village was inaugurated. In 1939, 1256 people lived in Kuhnau. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Kreuzburg OS district

As a result of the Second World War, in 1945 Kuhnau, like most of Silesia, fell under Polish administration. The place was subsequently renamed Kuniów and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).
