Sorkwity [sɔrkˈfitɨ] is a village in Mrągowo County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.
In 1454, the region was incorporated by King Casimir IV Jagiellon into the Kingdom of Poland upon the request of the anti-Teutonic Prussian Confederation.
In the late 19th century, the village had a predominantly Polish population of 431, which was mostly employed in agriculture and cattle breeding.
[4] After the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II the village again became part of Poland by the Potsdam Agreement.
Most Germans fled or were expelled in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement, and the remaining Polish population was joined by Poles expelled from the eastern Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union or Ukrainians forced to settle in the area through Operation Vistula in 1947.
