Etymology
Gogolewko is a diminutive form of the name of the nearby village of Gogolewo, itself of Slavic origin, and named either after the word gogo, a species of wild goose, or after the male name Gogoł or Gogoła.[3]
History
It was established as a linear settlement.[3]
During World War II, on 10 February 1945, the SS marched some 400 women and children from a forced labour camp in nearby Słupsk to a newly established camp near Gogolewko.[4] The Germans regularly used violence against the prisoners, and even hanged a Russian female forced laborer employed in the kitchen for helping the mothers and children.[4] Five-six children died in the camp each day.[4] The camp was liberated in April 1945.[4]
Nature
The Gogolewko nature reserve is located in Gogolewko.
