Borzechowo was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[2] It was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland in 1772. Despite the annexation, in the 19th century the village's population remained overwhelmingly Polish.[3] After Poland regained independence in 1918, the village was restored to Poland.
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), the Germans arrested the seven-member Polish family of Chamier-Gliszczyński, pre-war Polish activists, who stayed in the village after fleeing persecution in Płotowo.[4] They were imprisoned in Starogard Gdański and then murdered in the Szpęgawski Forest along with the owner of the house in which they stayed.[4] Teachers from Borzechowo were among Polish teachers murdered by the Germans on October 20, 1939, in the Szpęgawski Forest as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[5]
