History edit
In 1939, the Germans carried out arrests of local Polish activists, whereas a local Polish teacher was captured and murdered by the invading Germans near Kościerzyna (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[2][3]
From 1975 to 1998 Kłączno was administratively located in Słupsk Voivodeship.
