Geographical location

history

The village, called Vlosten after 1540, Vlosdenn after 1579 and Wlosten until 1938 , was founded in 1471 by the Teutonic Knight Order as a freehold with 34 hooves under Magdeburg law . But already since 1437 the local office u. a. mentioned as Hereditas Wlosch .

In 1874, the village was incorporated into the newly established district of Groß Rogallen ( Polish: Rogale Wielkie ), but before 1908 it was reclassified to the district of Belzonzen ( Polish : Bełcząc ), which - in 1938, was renamed the "District of Großdorf (Ostpr.)" - until 1945 the county Johannesburg in Administrative district Gumbinnen (1905: Administrative district Allenstein ) the Prussian province of East Prussia belonged.

In 1910 there were 278 inhabitants registered in Wlosten, in 1933 there were 277.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Wlosten belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Wlosten, 180 people voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On June 3, 1938, the spelling of the name Wlosten was changed to "Flosten" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign names. The population was 248 in 1939.

When the whole of southern East Prussia came to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Wlosten resp. Flosten affected. The village was given the Polish form of the name "Włosty". Today it is the seat of a Schulzenamt ( Polish Sołectwo ) and thus a village in the network of the city and rural community Biała Piska (Bialla , 1938 to 1945 Gehlenburg) in the powiat Piski ( Johannisburg district ), until 1998 the Voivodeship Suwałki , since then the Voivodeship Warmia Masuria belonging. In 2011 Włosty had 90 inhabitants.
