The village of Mrowken was founded in 1431. On August 7th of that year the Grand Master Paul von Rußdorf prescribes a service item for 15 hooves in Mrowken.

In 1874 Mrowken was assigned to the Orlen registry office (Orło in Polish). After its dissolution, the registry office in Rhine (Ryn) was responsible for Mrowken until 1945.

In 1910 Mrowken had 169 inhabitants. On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Mrowken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Mrowken, 120 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

The village was renamed and from June 15, 1929 was called "Neuforst". The population decreased to 119 by 1933 and was only 68 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the small village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name “Mrówki”. Today it is assigned to the Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ) Rybical (number of beets) and a locality within the urban and rural community Ryn (Rhine) in the powiat Giżycki ( Lötzen district ), before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
