Praszka, Administrative center in Olesno County, Poland

The town extends across the northern region of Opole Voivodeship, situated 65 miles southwest of Łódź and 33 miles from Częstochowa.

King Władysław II Jagiełło granted town rights to Praszka in 1392, marking its emergence as a significant settlement in medieval Poland.

A Jewish cemetery on Kardynał Stefan Wyszyński Street contains hundreds of matzevot fragments, representing the former Jewish population of Praszka.

The town functions as the administrative center of Gmina Praszka, serving a total population of 13,876 residents across multiple surrounding villages.

During the January Uprising of 1863, Praszka served as a weapons smuggling route for Polish insurgents fighting against Russian forces.
