Strzałkowo was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Pyzdry County[2] in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.

[4] During the World War II German occupation, in November 1940, the occupiers carried out expulsions of Poles from Strzałkowo.

[5] Expelled Poles were deported to the Kraków District of the General Government in German-occupied southern Poland, while their farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.
