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 Polish
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. In 1955, the village was renamed from
Karczmisko to
Bemowo Piskie. == NATO Training Base ==
