Kłocko [ˈkwɔt͡skɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Sieradz, within Sieradz County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 7 km (4 mi) south-west of Sieradz and 60 km (37 mi) south-west of the regional capital Łódź.
History
[edit]During the German occupation of Poland in World War II, in 1940, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were either sent to forced labour in the county or deported to the General Government in the more-eastern part of German-occupied Poland, while their houses and farms were handed over to German colonists.[2]
In 1979, a part of the village was included within the town limits of Sieradz as its new neighborhood.[3]
