Krajanów [kraˈjanuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Nowa Ruda, within Kłodzko County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.

Abutting Krajanów across the border in the Czech Republic is the municipality of Šonov in the Hradec Králové Region, located immediately south of the village.

Exactly 70 years later in 1423, a Free Judge, a class of land owners specific to the County of Kladsko and belonged to the Third Estate, is noted to have lived in Krajanów.

Descended mostly from German lokators, the Free Judges were people who had been granted special privileges by the King of Bohemia to reclaim and settle uninhabited areas.

The village was quite active economically at the time, with records from 1748 indicating the presence of a water mill, 97 farms, as well as 21 craftsmen living in Krajanów.

After the capitulation of Nazi Germany in 1945, the town was placed under Polish administration according to the Potsdam Conference, and the area remains a part of Poland into the present day.

Whereas most of the former German and Czech settlements of Kladsko County were repopulated by Poles from regions east of the Curzon line as well as war-devastated central Poland, Krajanów was settled by a group of Górals.

These Polish Highlanders from the Podhale region created a new home here as well as in the nearby villages of Czarny Bór and Borówno in Lower Silesia.
