History
Połchowo was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Puck County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940 and 1942, the Germans expelled several Polish families, whose farms were then handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[3]
