history
The village called Grünwalde was founded as early as 1345 . Before 1785, the place was called Warikallen before 1895 then United Warkallen , and after eliminating the additional designation until 1945 Warkallen . In 1785 Warkallen is called "royal village in office Allenstein," in 1820, it is one in the same office, and from 1874 a "royal farming village" rural municipality in the district of Schöneberg (Polish today: Wrzesina), which existed until 1945 and for district Allenstein in Allenstein district (until 1905 Königsberg district ) belonged to the Prussian province of East Prussia .
The population of Warkallen was 383 in 1910, decreased to 363 by 1933 and was 316 in 1939.
Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Warkallen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Warkallen, 220 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, and Poland received 40 votes.
As a result of the war and with the flight and expulsion of the local population , Warkallen came to Poland in 1945 within southern East Prussia and changed its name to "Warkały". Today the village with its more than 400 inhabitants is part of the Gmina Jonkowo in the Olsztyński powiat of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship (between 1975 and 1998: Olsztyn Voivodeship ).
