Gmina Nowe Skalmierzyce, Urban-rural municipality in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
Gmina Nowe Skalmierzyce is an urban-rural municipality in Ostrów Wielkopolski County that blends town and countryside areas in Greater Poland. The administrative center sits in Skalmierzyce village, while the town of Nowe Skalmierzyce forms a separate, densely populated core.
The area grew from a 19th-century customs post positioned between Prussian and Russian-controlled territories. The town received official status in 1962, marking a formal recognition after decades of transition and regional shifts.
Monuments scattered throughout the municipality honor local resistance movements from the early 1900s and World War II. These memorials shape how residents and visitors understand the area's role in Poland's struggle for independence.
Visitors should know that administrative functions are handled from outside the main urban center, which helps when planning where to go for official business. The location in central Greater Poland makes it easy to reach for day trips from larger cities in the region.
The town center occupies just a small geographic footprint yet holds one of Poland's highest population densities. This spatial concentration makes it a striking example of urban intensity in the Polish countryside.
