History

Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

The village was organized as a result of a spear survey carried out in the area of the Berżnice estate between 1547 and 1561 and was originally called Pomorzany.[5] Which originated from the location of the village on Lake Pomerania and referred to the people living on this lake.[6] In 1558 the village comprised 10 voloks and had 14 farmers.[7] The villages of Berżnice starosty, including Kukle, suffered severely as a result of the Swedish Deluge in 1655-1660, which is evidenced by the inventory data of 1679, according to which 7 farmers remained in Kukle, and out of 10 voloks only 4.75 were settled voloks, while the remaining 5.25 voloks were empty ones.[8] At this time, the village was also renamed Kukle, named after the owners of the village.[9] From the Lithuanian Kukla family.[10] The village again suffered losses during the Northern War in 1700-1721 and an epidemic around 1710, which is reflected in the inventory data from 1736, according to which there were only 3 farmers in Kukle that year. The number of farmers increased to 5 in 1765 and remained at the same level in 1789.[11] In 1789 Kukle had a population of 24 inhabitants.[12]
