In the area of the present village, finds from the Roman period have been got out. About 1581, a part of Rusinowo village began to be called Okrągła Łąka (Round Meadow). In the 18th century a gentry manor farm, Kilowo, was developed here. In 1717, Kilowo was owned by Otto Friedrich von Groeben. In 1789, the property and the village was bought by von Schroetter family. In 1873, the property went to merchants from Nowe. In 1878, Kilowo was bought by Paul Pieschel and a company from Turin, which started a production of glazed products. In 1868, the settlement occupied 273 ha of land. There were 87 buildings, 52 houses, 375 inhabitants, in this 19 Catholics and 356 evangelicals. It was part of the Catholic parish in Mokre with a branch in Wałcz. There was also an evangelical school in the village. Within the settlement boundaries there were deposits of peat and growing of tobacco was popular. The mansion farm of Kilowo, which at the end of the 19th century was also called Reutersrode, occupied 741 ha of land. In 1868, there were 33 buildings, 13 houses, 345 inhabitants, in this 29 Catholics and 310 evangelicals. In the village, there was a neoclassical palace which burnt in 1912 and was not rebuilt later.

A village arranged in rows, with a mansion farm in the northern part, situated on the right bank of the Vistula, in the southern part of the Kwidzyn lowlands, about 6 km south of Kwidzyn.
