Międzyrzec Podlaski, Urban municipality in Biała Podlaska County, Poland.

The town extends across 20 square kilometers along the Krzna river at an elevation of 148 meters above sea level in eastern Poland.

The settlement received its initial land grant from King Władysław Jagiełło to Abraham Chamiec, a knight from Lesser Poland, during the 1390s.

The town maintains its 15th-century urban layout with brick buildings surrounding the main square, featuring ornate wrought-iron balconies and traditional architecture.

The municipality connects to major transportation routes through national roads, facilitating regional movement between eastern Polish population centers.

Before World War II, the town exported pig bristle products valued at six to nine million US dollars to markets across Europe and Russia.
