Tarnobrzeg Voivodeship, Former administrative region in southeastern Poland
Tarnobrzeg Voivodeship was an administrative region in southeastern Poland that stretched across the Kielce-Sandomierz Upland, the Sandomierz Basin, and portions of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. It included major cities such as Stalowa Wola, Tarnobrzeg, and Sandomierz alongside their surrounding territories.
This voivodeship existed as a separate administrative unit from 1975 until 1998. Following a major reform of Poland's regional structure, its territory was divided among three neighboring voivodeships that replaced it.
The region contained numerous forests, including the extensive Sandomierz Forest and Janów Forest, alongside major rivers such as the Vistula and San.
The region was well connected through main roads DK9 and DK19 that linked its central cities with neighboring areas. These highways made travel between major population centers straightforward and relatively convenient.
The region became a major center for sulfur mining during the 20th century, which significantly shaped its economy and development. This industrial activity attracted workers and transformed the landscape from rural villages into an economically active zone.
