Geographical location

history

The former Samlack was founded in 1396. A sawmill made it important beyond the village limits. From 1874 to 1945 Samlack was incorporated into the district of Soweiden ( Zawidy in Polish ), which belonged to the district of Rößel in the Königsberg district (from 1905: Allenstein district ) in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Samlack belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Samlack, 240 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

In war-induced Samlack 1945 came with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish form of the name "Samławki". Today it is part of the Gmina Kolno, until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.
