The biggest part (8 włókas)[2]) was given to Michał Wysowaty[3] who founded the village of Wyszowate. It formed a part of the Kingdom of Poland as a fief, then from the 18th century, it was part of the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was also part of Germany, within which it was located in the province of East Prussia.
