In 1858 the village comprised 1,545 acres of land. In 1869, Skudaien / Skudayen , district of Königsberg, had 83 inhabitants according to the Encyclopedia of Geography , Ethnology and Political Science . In 1871 there were 18 houses and 121 inhabitants in the village, 92 of whom were Protestants and 29 were Catholics. In 1890, 147 people lived in 15 houses.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Szkudaj belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Szkudaj, the overwhelming majority of the residents voted to remain with East Prussia.

In 1939 there were 133 people in the village.

On January 20, 1945 the place was occupied by Soviet troops and then handed over to Poland.

The community Szkudaj existed until 1954. In the period 1975-1998 the place administratively belonged to the Olsztyn Voivodeship .
