History
The village was established in 1345 when Warmian bishop Herman of Prague issued its first
In 1454, King
The parish in Jonkowo appeared on the list of Warmian parishes at the end of the 15th century, and at the beginning of the 16th century. On September 18, 1580, the 14th-century church was consecrated by Bishop Marcin Kromer and named after St. John the Baptist.[3]
In 1656 there were two sołtys (village administrators) in Jonkowo, two free farmers, 14 peasants and one inn.
During the Swedish invasion of Poland (1701–1706), in 1703, Jonkowo (as well as other nearby villages) was burdened with a high contribution, which led to its ruin. 124 inhabitants died in Jonkowo during the plague epidemic in 1710. After the epidemic in Warmia ceased, when the cult of St. Roch, the patron saint against the plague, developed, Jonkowo was visited by numerous Warmian pilgrimages. At that time, the sołtys in Jonkowo were Marcin Barczewski and Jan Lewandowski. In 1714, the church was extended on the north and south sides. On June 14, 1715, the church was consecrated again by the Auxiliary Bishop of Warmia, Jan Franciszek Kurdwanowski , in honor of St. John the Baptist and St. Roch.[3] After another reconstruction, the church in Jonkowo was re-consecrated by Bishop Ignacy Krasicki on October 28, 1789.[3] Bishop Krasicki encouraged the local population to maintain a newly built school, to which the Prussian government donated 100 thalers. At that time, the school teacher was Józef Bolewski.
During the First Partition of Poland, Jonkowo was annexed by Prussia. On 3 February 1807, near Jonkowo, a clash known as the Battle of Olsztyn or the Battle of Jonkowo took place. At that time, the French Emperor Napoleon stayed with his troops in Olsztyn, Gutkowo and Jonkowo.
For centuries, the population remained Polish by ethnicity[3] and Catholic by confession. In the late 19th century, the village had a population of 692.[3] In the mid-nineteenth century, slow economic emigration to Germany began. In 1914, another expansion of the church took place.
Until 1954, Jonkowo was the seat of the Wrzesina commune.
