Nordenberg was founded in 1822 as the Vorwerk of the Gutsdorf Nordenthal (1938-1945 Nordental, Polish Nory ).

In its history, the small town was connected to its mother community Nordenthal in the Oletzko district (1933–1945 Treuburg district) in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia until 1945.

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and has since been known as "Norki" in Polish. Today it is part of the Gmina Wieliczki ( Wielitzken municipality , 1938 to 1945 Wallenrode) in the Powiat Olecki , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
