Kowal, Royal municipality in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.

Located in Włocławek County, Kowal extends across 4.68 square kilometers of land with a population density of 750 inhabitants per square kilometer.

German forces occupied Kowal in 1939, leading to mass deportations of Polish residents to transit camps while German colonists settled in the area.

The town features a prominent statue of King Casimir III the Great, who was born in Kowal in 1310 and became the last Piast dynasty monarch.

National Road 1 connects Kowal to major transportation routes, with a bypass constructed in 2007 to manage the flow of heavy vehicles through the region.

The local Jewish community, established in the 16th century, maintained a wooden Beit Midrash and developed various trade organizations until World War II.
