Gorzów County, Administrative county in Lubusz Voivodeship, Poland
Gorzów County is an administrative district in western Poland that covers rural areas and several smaller towns across seven municipalities. The region is situated around the Warta River and includes diverse landscapes ranging from farmland to forest areas.
The county was established in 1999 as part of Poland's major administrative reform that reorganized local government divisions nationwide. This restructuring created the modern territorial framework that still defines the region today.
The area maintains active connections with German communities across the border through joint initiatives and local programs. Visitors notice this cross-border cooperation in everyday life and in community gatherings throughout the territory.
The district has good road and rail connections linking its seven municipalities and nearby settlements. Access to the German-Polish border crossing at Kostrzyn nad Odrą is straightforward for those traveling to or from Germany.
The county is named after Gorzów Wielkopolski, yet this city is not part of the county's territory but remains an independent municipality completely surrounded by it. This unusual situation means the city and county maintain separate administrative structures despite their geographic relationship.
