Grodno Region, Administrative region in western Belarus
The Grodno Region is an administrative area in western Belarus that stretches along the borders with Poland and Lithuania. The landscape shifts between dense forests, river lowlands and wide fields, while towns and smaller cities dot the territory.
The current administrative area was created in September 1944 after the dissolution of the Bialystok Region during World War II. The boundaries followed the shifts in eastern Europe after the war and stabilized within the Soviet structure.
The name comes from the historic city on the Neman River, which has served for centuries as a trading crossroads between different cultural spaces. Today Catholic churches stand beside Orthodox places of worship, and Polish is heard in the markets alongside Belarusian and Russian.
The region is easiest to reach through the city of Grodno, which offers rail connections and roads to the surrounding districts. Travelers should note that some rural areas are accessible only by private vehicle or intercity buses.
The region shows the highest rate of people speaking Belarusian in daily life, with about 40 percent of the population. This language practice differs notably from other parts of the country where Russian is more widespread.
