Mikołów, Administrative center in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Mikołów extends across 81 square kilometers of the Silesian Highlands, situated along the Jamna stream, a tributary of the Kłodnica River.

The settlement received its first written mention in 1222 through a document from Duke Casimir I of Opole to the Bishop of Wrocław.

The establishment of a Polish printing house by Tomasz Nowacki in 1845 transformed Mikołów into a significant center of Polish literature distribution.

The town maintains direct transportation connections with Katowice, located 12 kilometers northeast, and serves as the administrative center of Mikołów County.

The territory encompasses five distinct villages: Borowa Wieś, Bujaków, Mokre, Paniowy, and Śmiłowice, each contributing to the municipality's diverse character.

Location: Mikołów County

Inception: 1222
