Chylonia ([xɨlɔnia]; Kashubian: Chëlonô; German: Kielau) is a district of Gdynia, Poland,[2] located in the northern part of the city.
Chylonia was a royal village of the Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Puck County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.[3]
During the German occupation of Poland in World War II, in 1939, the occupiers operated a temporary transit camp for expelled Poles in Chylonia.[4]
