history
The former domain of Schwalga and what later became the Klein Schwalg estate gave its name to an administrative district to which the estate belonged until 1908. The district of Schwalg consisted of the places Klein Schwalg, Sawadden (1938 to 1945: Schwalgenort, Polish Zawady Oleckie ) and Rothebude -Forst and was renamed in 1940 in "District Borker Heide, part of Kr. Treuburg". Klein Schwalg was reclassified to the Czychen district and - renamed "Bolken District" in 1938 - until 1945 to the Oletzko district (called "Treuburg district" from 1933 to 1945) in the Gumbinnen district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .
142 inhabitants were registered in the Klein Schwalg manor district in 1910. Their number rose to 191 by 1933 and was 189 in 1939.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Klein Schwalg belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Klein Schwalg, 85 people voted to stay with East Prussia, Poland did not vote.
Renamed "Schwalg" (without addition) in 1938, the village came to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war with all of southern East Prussia and has been called "Szwałk" since then. The village ( Polish wieś ) is now a Schulzenamt ( Polish sołectwo ), while the settlement ( Polish osada ) is a subordinate place in the network of the rural community Kowale Oleckie in the Powiat Olecki , before 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
The Sołectwo Szwałk includes: Mazury , Szwałk and Zawady Małe .
