Olesno County, Administrative county in Opole Voivodeship, Poland
The county spans across 973 square kilometers of rolling hills and agricultural lands, containing four main towns: Olesno, Praszka, Dobrodzień, and Gorzów Śląski.
Following the Polish local government reforms of 1998, Olesno County was established on January 1, 1999, as part of the reorganization of territorial administration.
The Regional Museum in Olesno, established in 1960, preserves local artifacts and documents that reflect the area's Polish heritage and Upper Silesian traditions.
The county maintains direct road connections to major cities including Opole and Kraków, with regular bus services linking its seven constituent municipalities.
The territory includes the ancient Amber Road settlement area, where archaeological findings date human presence back to the Neolithic period.
