history

The former Mylussen was founded in 1539. In 1874, the village was incorporated into the newly established administrative district Gorczitzen ( Polish Gorczyce ), which was renamed after a few years in "District Borken " (Polish Borki ) and until 1945 to the district of Lyck in the administrative district of Gumbinnen (from 1905: district of Allenstein ) in belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 there were 253 inhabitants registered in Mylussen, in 1933 there were 236.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Mylussen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Mylussen, 160 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.

On August 18, 1938, the name spelling was changed from Mylussen to "Milussen". The population was 218 in 1939.

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 "Miłsze". Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ), which also includes the neighboring village of Niedźwiedzkie (Niedzwetzken , Wiesengrund from 1936 to 1945 ) . As such, Miłusze is a village in the Gmina Prostki (Prostken) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship belongs.
