History

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]

Transport

The intersection of National road 74 and Voivodeship road 488 is located east of the village.
