Chotów is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Mokrsko, within Wieluń County, Łódź Voivodeship, in south-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4km (02miles) north-east of Mokrsko, 70NaN0 west of Wieluń, and 940NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Łódź.
The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. The Renaissance Saint Martin church was built in 1619.
In 1827, Chotów had a population of 411.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1940, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were either enslaved as forced labour in the region or deported to the General Government in the more eastern part of German-occupied Poland.[3] Houses and farms of expelled Poles were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.[4]
