It was owned by Tomasz Czapski in 1776. Its next owner was Jakub Zaleski. Konstancja Małachowska (maiden name Zaleska) granted the estate to farmers who lived there in perpetual lease. The village was sold to the descendants of leaseholders in 1835. Szczuplinki became a part of Poland once again in 1920.
