Leszno County, Administrative district in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
Leszno County is an administrative district in Greater Poland with seven municipalities spread across farmland and rural villages. The territory includes two main towns, Rydzyna and Osieczna, along with numerous smaller settlements distributed throughout the region.
Leszno County was established in 1999 when Poland restructured its local government system across the entire country. This administrative reorganization created the current district boundaries and municipal divisions that exist today.
The region maintains strong agricultural traditions while supporting educational institutions and community centers across its seven distinct administrative divisions.
The district headquarters is located in the city of Leszno, though the city itself operates as an independent administrative unit separate from the county. Visitors exploring the region should keep in mind this administrative separation when navigating between the city center and surrounding communities.
The district has a notable demographic trait where about two-thirds of its residents live in rural villages rather than urban areas. This strong rural character shapes daily life and local traditions throughout the region.
