Kopydłów is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Biała, within Wieluń County, Łódź Voivodeship, in south-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6km (04miles) east of Biała, 60NaN0 north-west of Wieluń, and 890NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Łódź.
In 1827, Kopydłów had a population of 143.[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]
The intersection of National road 74 and Voivodeship road 488 is located east of the village.
