Gmina Borzęcin, Rural municipality in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
The municipality of Borzęcin spans across the Uszwica river valley, encompassing two distinct administrative sections known as Upper Borzęcin and Lower Borzęcin.
First documented in 1475 by chronicler Jan Długosz, Borzęcin was established in 1364 by Bishop Bodzanta Jankowski on uninhabited land under Magdeburg law.
The municipality maintains traditional agricultural practices while preserving local customs through regular community gatherings and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.
Located 55 kilometers east of Kraków and 14 kilometers northeast of Brzesko, Borzęcin provides essential administrative services for its 3,700 residents.
