Sokółka County, Administrative district in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland
Sokółka County is an administrative area in northeastern Poland located in Podlaskie Voivodeship, comprising ten municipalities with a border region facing Belarus to the east. The county includes several towns and villages spread across its territory.
The county took its current form through Poland's administrative reorganization in 1999. The region experienced significant disruption during World War II and the Soviet occupation that followed.
The area shows traces of Polish and Belarusian influences in its churches, homes, and everyday customs. Visitors notice this blend in how communities organize their public spaces and gather together.
The main towns of Sokółka, Dąbrowa Białostocka, Krynki, and Suchowola are connected by roads and the Warsaw-Białystok-Grodno railway line. Travelers should plan their visits considering that transportation options vary between urban centers and more remote areas.
The village of Kuźnica within the county was the birthplace of Jazep Varonka, a significant figure in early Belarusian political history. This connection ties the region to broader movements that shaped Eastern Europe.
