Wilków was first mentioned in 1357. The place name can be traced back to Wolf after the German linguist Heinrich Adamy and was later changed to Wilkau for phonetic reasons , which, however, lost the original meaning. During the Thirty Years' War in 1632 the village church of Wilków was destroyed.

In 1906 a train station was built in Wilków, through which the place was connected to the Guhrau – Glogau line. Passenger traffic ceased in 1991.
After the First Silesian War , Wilków came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1742 . There the place was from 1816 to 1945 in the district of Glogau in the administrative district of Liegnitz .
The German name of the place is Wilkau . This place name was changed in 1937 in the course of Germanization at the time of National Socialism in Wolfau . After the demarcation in the period after the Second World War, the place came as Wilków to the Republic of Poland . Between 1975 and 1998 the place belonged to the Legnica Voivodeship , after its dissolution as a result of a territorial reform, the place came to the Lower Silesian Voivodeship .
