Gdakowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Prabuty, within Kwidzyn County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8km (05miles) north of Prabuty, 180NaN0 north-east of Kwidzyn, and 700NaN0 south-east of the regional capital Gdańsk.
The village was part of the Kingdom of Poland until the First Partition of Poland in 1772, when it was annexed by Prussia. In November 1831, several Polish cavalry units of the November Uprising stopped near the village on the way to their internment places.[2] In 1871, the village became part of Germany, and following Germany's defeat in World War II in 1945, it became again part of Poland.
There is a train station in the village.
