The village, which was called Simanowen after 1871 and Siemanowen until 1938 , was called a "village with 2 fireplaces" in 1785.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Siemanowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Siemanowen, 280 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.

On June 3 (officially confirmed on 16 July) 1938 Siemanowen was foreign-sounding place names in "Altensiedel" for political and ideological reasons of defense renamed .

As a result of the war, the village came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of name "Szymanowo". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the network of the rural community Sorkwity (Sorquitten) in the powiat Mrągowski ( Sensburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
