Rejowiec, Municipal town in Chełm County, Poland

Rejowiec sits 17 kilometers southwest of Chełm and 52 kilometers east of Lublin, serving as an administrative center in eastern Poland.

The town received its privileges from King Sigismund I the Old in 1547, granting rights for two annual fairs and a decade of tax exemption.

The town's religious heritage includes a former Calvinist college and multiple religious transformations, from Protestant foundations to Catholic predominance over centuries.

The industrial sector of Rejowiec developed with copper casting factories, tanneries, and a glass factory that employed 180 workers until 1939.

Rejowiec regained its town status on January 1, 2017, after losing these rights in 1870 as a consequence of participating in the Polish January Uprising.
