History
Borowa was founded in 1799 as the Wilhelmswalde colony after a hurricane devastated a large forested area south of Gałków. A surviving plan of Borowa shows a classic linear village settlement with residential buildings on both sides of a long, perfectly straight street, with their gables facing the street.
Culture
The Protestant cemetery in Borowa was established in the first half of the 19th century. The Protestant cemetery in Borowa contains erratic boulders with inscriptions commemorating the soldiers who fell in 1914. During the interwar period, the remains of German soldiers who had fallen in 1914 were transferred from individual graves to the Protestant cemetery in Borowa.
The Protestant cemetery in Borowa is unfenced and covered by tall vegetation and a dense shrub layer.
