Stryków [ˈstrɨkuf] is a town in central Poland, in Łódź Voivodeship, in Zgierz County.

[2] In the middle of the eighteenth century, the town had 45 artisans (13 clothiers, 5 merchants and shopkeepers, and 5 others) and was a local center of commerce and crafts.

After being forced into an overcrowded ghetto (up to eight people shared each room) with no sewage system, in 1942 they were rounded up.

The town was 45% smaller after the war due to the outflow of local Germans who moved west with the retreating German troops, the murder of almost the entire Jewish community, and deaths in the Polish community.

Northwest of the center of Stryków, are the remains of the Jewish cemetery, where the last burial took place in 1946.

Stryków now has many great opportunities, being located at the intersection of the two major highways in Poland, A1 and A2.
