Ożarów, Administrative center in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland

The municipality extends across 7.79 square kilometers in eastern Świętokrzyskie province, positioned fifteen kilometers west of the Vistula River and within Opatów county.

Józef Ożarowski established the settlement on Wyszmontów village grounds, receiving city rights from King Zygmunt August in 1569 as part of Sandomierz Voivodeship.

The Parish Church of Bishop St. Stanisław, constructed in the late 19th century, stands as a central religious structure for the local Catholic population.

The cement plant, constructed in 1972, remains a primary industrial facility in the region, contributing to employment opportunities and economic development.

A Jewish cemetery dating back 400 years underwent restoration in 2001, preserving the memory of the former Jewish community that numbered 1,000 residents by 1787.
