History. Głodowo was a private church village of the monastery in Pelplin, administratively located in the Tczew County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Polish Crown. During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in 1939, expelled Poles from nearby Wysin and Kościerzyna were  brought by the Germans to Głodowo, and then deported in freight trains from the local station to the Siedlce County in German-occupied central Poland. In 1939–1941, the occupiers also carried out expulsions of Poles from Głodowo, whose farms were then handed over to Germans in accordance with the "Lebensraum" policy. Some of the expellees were deported to forced labour in Germany. References.
