Stąporków, Industrial city in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland.

The city extends along both sides of the Czarna River valley, surrounded by forests and agricultural lands of the Świętokrzyskie region.

The settlement emerged in the mid-16th century as an industrial center, with a significant blast furnace constructed in 1738 by Polish Crown Chancellor Jan Małachowski.

The local heritage reflects strong connections to metalworking traditions, with former industrial structures and buildings telling the story of regional manufacturing development.

The municipality serves as an administrative center for the Gmina Stąporków district, providing essential services to approximately 6,200 residents.

The iron foundry, established in the 18th century, produced more pig iron per week than similar facilities in Upper Silesia during the late 1700s.
