Ryki, County capital in Lublin Voivodeship, Poland

Ryki is a city in Lublin Voivodeship positioned between Poland's capital and regional centers. It serves as the administrative seat of its county and sits at the intersection of important national road routes that connect the region.

The settlement was first documented in 1439 and gained city status in 1782. The rights were temporarily revoked in 1810 during a period of territorial reorganization in the region.

The name Ryki likely comes from an old Slavic word related to water and local geography. The town continues to shape the region as a local administrative hub and gathering place for surrounding communities.

The city is easily reached by major roads for travelers moving between Warsaw and Lublin. Visitors should note this is a smaller regional hub that offers standard amenities and services found in county towns.

In the early 1900s, Ryki had a large Jewish population that shaped the city's society and economy. This heritage remains part of the town's complex cultural story that visitors can explore today.
