Janów Lubelski County, Administrative district in Lublin Voivodeship, Poland
Janów Lubelski County is an administrative district in Lublin Voivodeship comprising seven separate gminas: Batorz, Chrzanów, Dzwola, Godziszów, Janów Lubelski, Modliborzyce, and Potok Wielki. The territory is predominantly rural, with farmland and villages scattered throughout the region.
The county was established in 1999 following Poland's comprehensive local government reforms implemented across the entire country. This reorganization reshaped how local administration and services were delivered in the region.
Agricultural traditions shape the character of these rural communities, which you can observe in the fields and village life. The landscape reflects the way people have worked the land for generations.
The town of Janów Lubelski serves as the administrative hub and is located roughly 60 kilometers south of Lublin. The area is accessible by road and offers basic services for local governance and business needs.
The county sits at the crossroads of five neighboring counties: Kraśnik, Lublin, Biłgoraj, Nisko, and Stalowa Wola. This central position places it at an important junction for regional connections and local movement.
