history

The small village, called Quika after 1785 , was founded in 1434 by the Teutonic Knight Order as a free property with 30 hooves under Cologne law .

The number of inhabitants was 300 in 1910, was 296 in 1933 and decreased to 247 by 1939.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Quicka belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Quicka, 200 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

1945 Quicka came in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Kwik". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and as such a place in the network of the city and rural community Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Kwik had 114 inhabitants.
