In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is first mentioned as a flower valley . The place name Blumenthal has already been handed down for the year 1312 . In 1365 the place was mentioned as Blumyntal .

In 1619 a stone chapel was built in the village. After the First Silesian War in 1742, Blumenthal and most of Silesia fell to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Blumenthal belonged to the district of Neisse in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a castle, a chapel and 17 other houses in the village. In the same year 124 people lived in Blumenthal, all of them Catholic. In 1855 118 people lived in Blumenthal. In 1865 there were eleven gardeners and two cottages in the village. The residents were trained in Baucke. In 1874 the administrative district of Grunau was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Blumenthal, Grunau and Klein Briesen and the estate districts of Blumenthal, Grunau, Klein Briesen and Klein Briesen, Forst and Colonie Heidenau. In 1885 Blumenthal had 111 inhabitants.

In 1933 there were 164 people in Blumenthal and 143 in 1939. During the Second World War, there was a temporary labor camp in Blumenthal. Until the end of the war in 1945 the place belonged to the Neisse district .

As a result of the Second World War, Blumenthal fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Kwiatków and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski .
