Miechów County

Miechów County is an administrative district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship comprising seven municipalities with the town of Miechów serving as the main administrative center. The territory covers 676 square kilometers and incorporates both rural villages and agricultural land.

The county was established in 1999 as part of Poland's major administrative reorganization that reshaped the country's territorial divisions. This reform brought together seven formerly independent communities under one administrative structure.

Agriculture shapes daily life across the region, with farmland and rural villages defining the landscape and local rhythms. This way of living is visible throughout the towns and countryside.

The district is accessible via a road network linking it to Kraków, which lies approximately 34 kilometers to the south. Most travel routes to the region pass through established highways connecting to the regional capital.

The territory includes Racławice, a site of historical importance where a major armed uprising against occupation forces occurred in 1794. This location remains accessible and commemorates a pivotal moment in Polish history.
