In 1661 the small village called Nykrassen around 1818 , called Niekrassen until 1938, was founded.

In 1910 a total of 88 inhabitants were registered in Niekrassen. Their number rose to 108 by 1933. On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Niekrassen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 to continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or to join Poland . In Niekrassen, 80 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938, Niekrassen was renamed to "Krassau" for political and ideological reasons to ward off foreign-sounding place names . The population was 100 in 1939.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name “Niekrasy”. Today it is incorporated into the Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) Ciernie (Cziernien , 1929 to 1945 Dorntal) and thus a village in the Gmina Ełk (rural community Lyck ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 the Suwałki voivodeship , since then the voivodeship Belonging to Warmia-Masuria .
