Wałcz County, Administrative district in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.
Description
Wałcz County is an administrative district in northwestern Poland within West Pomeranian Voivodeship that contains five municipalities with different characters. The territory includes the town of Wałcz as the main urban center, three additional towns, and rural communities spread across the landscape.
History
This territory changed control between Polish and Brandenburg rulers in medieval times before becoming part of Prussia in the 18th century. It returned to Polish administration in 1945 after World War II and has remained part of Poland since then.
