Garwolin County, Administrative district in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
Garwolin County is an administrative district in the Masovian Voivodeship in east-central Poland. The area contains four towns and numerous rural settlements spread across fourteen administrative subdivisions.
The district was established in 1999 as an independent administrative unit following a nationwide restructuring of local government. This reorganization created the current structure of towns and municipalities in the area.
The fourteen municipalities in the county celebrate regional food, music, and crafts through regular festivals that bring communities together. These events reveal how local traditions remain part of daily life across the area.
The district is accessible by road and has a main administrative office in Garwolin city. The four town halls in Garwolin, Łaskarzew, Pilawa, and Żelechów provide local services to residents across the region.
The county is shaped by the Wilga River, which flows through the landscape and creates distinct ecological zones across the territory. This waterway runs between the four urban centers and supports the area's agricultural character.
