Gdów, Village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Gdów spans across the southeastern region of Lesser Poland, positioned 14 kilometers from Wieliczka and 26 kilometers from the regional capital Kraków.

Archaeological findings reveal continuous settlements in Gdów dating back to the Paleolithic period, with the first written records mentioning the village in the eleventh century.

King Augustus III of Saxony granted Gdów permission to organize four annual fairs and weekly markets, establishing its commercial importance in the region.

The village functions as an administrative center for the Gmina Gdów district, providing essential services to residents at an elevation of 260 meters.

The Battle of Gdów in 1846 marked a significant confrontation between Polish nationalists and Austrian forces during the occupation period.
