Małe Olecko is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wieliczki, within Olecko County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1] It is situated on the southern shore of Olecko Małe Lake in Masuria.
Małe Olecko was founded in 1541 by Bartosz Leśnicki from Mazovia, who bought land to establish a village.[2] [3] In 1867, it had a population of 535, 93.8% Polish.[2] In 1938, during a massive campaign of renaming of placenames, the government of Nazi Germany renamed it to Herzogshöhe in attempt to erase traces of Polish origin.[3] In 1939, it had a population of 518.[3] Following Germany's defeat in World War II, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic name was restored.
