Until 1945 Neuwald was a forestry that belonged to the Hartigswalde state forest . With its four inhabitants in 1905, the place was a residential area in the municipality of Omulefofen (Polish: Kot ) in the East Prussian district of Neidenburg .
Neuwald was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war, along with all of southern East Prussia . The place received the Polish name form "Nowy Las" and is today a place within the rural community Jedwabno (1938 to 1945 Gedwangen ) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
