The small estate of Ossa was founded in 1703. In 1818 it was mentioned as a Cologne village with three campfire sites and 19 inhabitants.

In 1874 the manor district of Ossa was incorporated into the newly established district of Lucknainen ( Łuknajno in Polish ), which was renamed "Olschwen district" in 1932 and "Erlenau district" in 1938 - to the Sensburg district in the Gumbinnen district (1905 to 1945: Allenstein district ) in the belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia .

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Ossa belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Ossa, 20 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On September 30, 1928, Ossa gave up its independence and merged with the Georgenthal ( Polish Urwitałt ), Grünhof ( Leśny Dwór ), Lucknainen ( Łuknajno ) and Pienkowen districts to form the new rural municipality of Lucknainen, and on November 3, 1930 Ossa was incorporated into " Schwanhof "renamed.
