Jarocin County

Jarocin County is an administrative territory in Greater Poland Voivodeship covering approximately 588 square kilometers in west-central Poland. The area includes two towns and several rural communities organized within four administrative districts.

The territory received its current administrative structure in 1999 during Poland's reorganization of local government. This restructuring established the boundaries that remain in place today.

The region preserves memories of Poland's rock music movement through its museum dedicated to this musical heritage, where visitors can experience exhibits reflecting the importance of historic concerts held here. Local communities continue to express pride in this cultural legacy through annual events and public displays.

The county connects to major regional centers through road networks and lies about 63 kilometers southeast of Poznań. Vehicles registered here bear the code PJA.

The territory encompasses multiple protected natural areas that preserve a varied landscape between urban development and farmland. This balanced mix makes it a worthwhile destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers.
