The name forms Uszgrabey (around 1603) and Uszpallen (before 1900) have been passed down from earlier centuries for the small town called Uszballen . Before 1945 it consisted of a large yard and a few farmsteads.

Between 1874 and 1945 Uszballen was incorporated into the Kleszowen District (now in Russian: Kutusowo ), which - renamed "Kleschowen District" in 1936 and "Kleschauen District" in 1939 - to the Darkehmen district (from 1939: " Angerapp district ") in the administrative district Gumbinnen belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia .

The small village of Uszballen had 72 inhabitants in 1910. Their number changed to 73 by 1925, was 59 in 1993 and was 70 in 1939.

On September 17, 1936, the spelling of the place name was changed to "Kleschowen". On June 3 (officially confirmed on July 16) in 1938, political and ideological reasons for turning away from foreign-sounding place names led to the name being changed to "Langenrück".

As a result of the Second World War , the village came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia . Here it was given the name “Użbale”. Between 1945 and 1975 the place was assigned to the district Węgorzewo (Angerburg) in the Olsztyn Voivodeship (Allenstein) . Today it is part of the Gołdap urban and rural community in the Gołdapski powiat , until 1998 the Suwałki Voivodeship , and since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
