Põlva County, Administrative county in southeastern Estonia.
Põlva County spans 2,164 square kilometers of forests, lakes, and natural landscapes, bordering Russia's Pskov Oblast and three Estonian counties.
The territory received its county status in 1961, marking a new administrative organization within Estonia's southeastern region near the Russian border.
The county maintains strong connections to Võro language speakers, representing a southeastern Estonian indigenous population with specific traditions and expressions.
Three rural municipalities - Kanepi, Põlva, and Räpina - form the administrative structure, with the town of Põlva serving as the county capital.
The region's newspaper 'Koit' documented local events from 1951 to 2019, reflecting changes across multiple generations of county residents.
