Okalewo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Skrwilno, within Rypin County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6km (04miles) north of Skrwilno, 120NaN0 east of Rypin, and 680NaN0 east of Toruń.
In 1827, the village had a population of 341.[2] A steam mill was built in 1869.[3]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), local teachers were among Polish teachers from the county deceitfully gathered at a supposed formal meeting and then massacred in Rypin in November 1939 (see Intelligenzaktion).[4] Furthermore, a Polish teacher from Sławianowo was murdered by the occupiers in the forest of Okalewo.[5]
