Biłgoraj, Urban municipality in southeastern Lublin Voivodeship, Poland
Biłgoraj lies in the northern Sandomierz Basin, surrounded by Solska Forest, with four rivers flowing through its territory: Biała Łada, Czarna Łada, Osa, and Próchnica.
The town establishment occurred in 1570 by Adam Gorajski, receiving official incorporation from King Stefan Batory at Lviv on September 10, 1578.
The town maintains traditional folk art practices and regional customs, reflected in the Zagroda Sitarska museum which presents the historical sieve-making industry.
The municipality connects to other regions through two voivodeship roads linking Lublin to Przemyśl and Zamość to Nisko, with a rail station on a secondary route.
Biłgoraj housed the production of green beer until the 19th century and now contains the headquarters of Black Red White, a major Polish furniture manufacturer.
