The village of Wilków was mentioned in 1420. The Dutch colonists settled in the village in the second half of the 18th century. On February, 1778, the king Stanisław August Poniatowski ratified the emphyteutic contract concluded between the Kampinos starost and the Dutch. The settlers undertook to establish a settlement in the Wilków "thicket".

Wilków nad Wisłą is a linear village situated between the Vistula and the Kampinos forest on the northern side of the Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki-Kamion road. The cultural landscape is preserved in a good condition. The village stretches the flood-bank on the southern side of the road that runs on top of the bank. Homesteads are located 50-150 m from the road and are connected to it with driveways. The houses lie on man-made hillocks along an east-west line. Willows and poplars are planted on eastern sides of the hillocks, on balks, and roadsides. Ponds, which collect exes of water seeping from under the flood-bank, are located between the homesteads and the flood-bank. There are numerous examples of traditional architecture characteristic for the Dutch colonization.
