Dzierżoniów County

Dzierżoniów County is an administrative region in Lower Silesian Voivodeship that encompasses several municipalities across southwestern Poland, with settlement centers including smaller towns and rural villages. The territory features a mix of developed areas and countryside with diverse land use patterns.

The region was historically ruled by multiple powers including Bohemian and Prussian authorities before becoming part of Poland. Its present administrative structure was established during the local government reforms of 1999.

The county maintains multiple educational facilities, municipal centers, and local markets that serve its population of 101,118 residents across urban and rural communities.

The county is connected by road networks that link different settlements and provide access to larger cities such as Wrocław. Local infrastructure supports movement between communities and various economic activities across the territory.

The territory contains sections of the Owl Mountains, which create a hilly landscape in the southern portions. These elevated areas offer distinct terrain that contrasts with the flatter agricultural plains found elsewhere in the county.
