History

although Zakrzewo had a very strong and active Polish community, headed by the parson of a local parish, Bolesław Domański.^{[citation needed]} According to the census of 1900, Zakrzewo had a population of 1,124, of which 78.1% were Poles. In 1935, the Nazi government changed the village's name to Buschdorf as part of a drive to Germanize Slavic-sounding placenames. For more on the history of the multi-ethnic historical area, see Złotów County.
