A watermill was erected in the settlement in 1347, it was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt throughout history, and Kikoły developed into a land estate in the 18th century.[1] After the First Partition of Poland in 1772 the settlement was annexed by Prussia, and the mill and estate were nationalized by the Prussians.[1] From 1871 to 1945 it formed part of Germany (within the province of East Prussia), before it was restored to Poland after Nazi Germany's defeat in World War II.
