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.[3] It was owned by the Strzałkowski, Węsierski and Korytowski families.[2] In the late 19th century, it had a population of 462.[2]

During World War I, it was the location of a German prisoner-of-war camp for tens of thousands of Allied POWs of various nationalities.[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.[5]
