During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), Jabłowo was one of the sites of executions of Poles, carried out by the Germans in 1939 as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[3] Local Poles were also subjected to expulsions to the General Government and deportations to forced labour to German-occupied Grudziądz County.[4]
The landmark of Jabłowo is the Gothic Saint Lawrence church, which dates back to the 14th century.
