Gmina Andrespol, Rural municipality in Łódź East County, Poland.
Gmina Andrespol is a rural municipality in Łódź East County, in central Poland. It covers a number of villages and smaller settlements set across a flat landscape of fields and patches of forest.
The municipality traces its origins to 1807, when a local landowner signed an agreement with German settler families from Pomerania. Those families cleared the land and founded the first villages that form the core of today's municipality.
The name Andreasfeld points directly to the German settlers who gave the area its identity. The straight village layouts, with houses set along parallel tracks, reflect the way these communities were planned from the beginning.
The municipality borders Łódź directly, so the surrounding villages are easy to reach from the city. For local information and contacts, the website andrespol.pl is a practical starting point.
The first settler families were granted a six-year exemption from taxes to help them build their farms from scratch. This arrangement was unusual at the time and helped attract more families to join the new settlement.
