History[edit]
Dąbrowskie was founded in 1562 by mayor of nearby Olecko Stanisław Milewski, who bought land to establish a village.[2][3] As of 1600, the population of the village was solely Polish.[2][3] The village had two equivalent names Dąbrowskie and Milewskie with the latter derived from the last name of its founder.[2] In 1938, during a massive campaign of renaming of placenames, the government of Nazi Germany renamed it to Königsruh in attempt to erase traces of Polish origin.[2] In 1939, it had a population of 333.[2] Following Germany's defeat in World War II, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic Polish name Dąbrowskie was restored.
