The small Gutsort Rostken was included in the newly established administrative district Neuhoff ( Polish Zelki ) in 1874 .

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Rostken belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Rostken, 80 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
