history
The small village called Nouacken after 1579, Nowacken after 1871 and Nowaken until 1938 was founded in 1526.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Nowacken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Nowacken, 80 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
On June 3, 1938 Nowaken was foreign-sounding place names in "Brothers field" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed . The population was 120 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 “Nowaki”. Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwa ) and as such a place within the Gmina Prostki (rural community Prostken ) in the powiat Ełcki ( Lyck district ), until 1998 of the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it belongs to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
