Kozowo

Kozowo is the name of several villages in Poland. The place name is derived from the Polish word koza, meaning goat, with the suffix -owo, a common toponymic ending that often signals a place associated with goats or historically linked to a family name such as Koz or Kozow. In Poland, villages named Kozowo are typically small, rural settlements that are part of a gmina (municipality) within a powiat (county) and situated in one of the country’s voivodeships (provinces).

Characteristics of Kozowo locations are similar in that they generally have modest populations and economies centered on agriculture, local services, or small-scale production. Each Kozowo is a distinct locality with its own administrative ties to the gmina council and to county authorities, and the specific features, boundaries, and institutions of a Kozowo can vary by region.

The history, landscape, and landmarks of a particular Kozowo depend on its local context. Some may host a small church, a rural chapel, or traditional wooden architecture, while others may be primarily residential or agricultural without notable tourist attractions. Because Kozowo refers to more than one place, precise information usually requires disambiguation by voivodeship, county, or municipality to identify the specific locality being discussed.
