In 1910, 386 inhabitants were registered in Orzechowken. By 1933 the number of inhabitants had decreased to 363 and was still 334 in 1939.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Orzechowken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Orzechowken, 270 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not.

On June 24, 1925, the village was renamed "Nussdorf".
