Chodzież County

Chodzież County is an administrative county in Greater Poland Voivodeship comprised of five municipalities, including three urban centers: Chodzież, Szamocin, and Margonin. The territory combines towns and surrounding rural communities in a mixed settlement pattern.

This administrative district was established during Poland's major administrative reform in 1999, which reorganized regional governance structures across the country. This reorganization created the current system of powiat counties that functions today.

Towns and villages throughout the county host regular festivals where local artisans display handmade crafts and traditional music fills the streets. These celebrations bring communities together and keep regional customs alive.

The county seat of Chodzież is located about 65 kilometers north of Poznań, accessible by main roads and regular transport services connecting all parts of the region. Moving around the county is straightforward thanks to established road networks linking the municipalities together.

The county spreads across varied landscapes with a low population density compared to more urban regions, creating pockets of less developed areas alongside established towns. This balance between open space and settlement gives the region its distinctive character.
