Bemowo Piskie
History
The village was established in 1561, when Andrzej Szlaga founded an inn at the site. In the past the village was also known to the local Masurian populace as Szlaga (after its founder) or Karczmisko (after the Polish word karczma, which means "inn"). From the early 18th century it was part of the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was also part of Germany, administratively located in the province of East Prussia. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II in 1945, the village along with Masuria became again part of Poland.
