Before 1772 the area was part of Kingdom of Poland, in 1772–1871 of Prussia, in 1871–1945 of Germany, and of Poland since 1945. Despite being under German rule, a Polish school existed in the village before World War II. Its head in 1932-1933 was Edward Turowski [pl], who during World War II was imprisoned by the Germans in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and later became a member of the Polish Sejm.
The historic church of St. John the Baptist and a historical Warmian wayside shrine are located in Giławy.
