Miłochów [miˈwɔxuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Świdnica, within Świdnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Prior to 1945 it was a part of Germany.

History[edit]

Following the Second World War repatriated Polish settlers proposed renaming the village Stefanówka after the first of their children to be born there.[2])
