==History==<br />
The name of this village derived from its location; until 1945 it was called ''Bergvorwerk'', meaning "estate on the mountain". The owners of the estate, amounting to 1000 hectares of arable land, were the von Gaffron-Prittwitz family, descendants of [[Hussars]] rewarded by [[Frederick the Great]] of [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]] for their loyalty with a large fief. After the death of the last member of the family, Alexander Friedrich von Gaffron-Prittwitz (1845-1923), his widow sold the estate, along with one in nearby [[Kazimierz, Opole Voivodeship|Kasimir]] (Kazimierz). The land was then parceled out into a dozen large farms, including one belonging to Alois Dambon of nearby [[Roszowicki Las|Roschowitzwald]] (Roszowicki Las). In the 1930s a waterworks for Oberglogau (Głogówek) was built in the town. There is also a Neolithic archeological site in the town.<br />
<br />
After the defeat of [[Nazi Germany]] in [[World War II]] in 1945, the village became again part of Poland, initially under the name Stroków, and then renamed again to Góreczno.<br />
