Wejherowo County

Wejherowo County is an administrative district in Pomeranian Voivodeship along the Baltic Sea coast, comprising three cities and seven rural municipalities. The territory combines coastal areas with inland forests and agricultural zones.

The county was established as an administrative unit in 1999, bringing together historical Kashubian territories under unified governance. This reorganization was part of broader local government reforms across Poland.

The region maintains its Kashubian identity through Wejherowo, Rumia, and Reda, where local traditions remain visible in daily life. These cities form a distinct cultural space with their own customs and speech patterns.

The county administration center is located in Wejherowo city, where services and information are available to visitors. The warmer months are ideal for exploring both coastal routes and rural areas throughout the region.

The territory stretches from the Baltic shoreline into inland forests, creating two distinct landscape zones within one administrative area. This blend of coastal and rural environments shapes the character of daily life across the region.
