gm. Słupno, pow. płocki, woj. mazowieckie

The first mention of the village dates from 1254. The Dutch settled on an unused area near Wykowo probably at the end of the 18th century. In 1827, the settlement of Wykowa Kępa was mentioned next to the proper Wykowo. Wykowa Kępa was, most probably, part of Wykowo that was colonized by the Dutch. It had of 6 houses and had 33 residents.

Originally, Wykowo was a linear village located on the southern side o the Vistula, between Liszyno and Białobrzegi.

Practically, the village has been completely transformed; numerous holiday centers are located along the Vistula embankment. The traditional landscape associated with the Dutch colonization has been best preserved in the western section of the village near Liszyn. A field layout with planted willows (remains of trees) and drainage canals are visible.
