Oława County

Oława County is an administrative district in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, encompassing several towns and rural areas across a continuous territory. The region comprises four different administrative units that together house around 76,000 people across its communities.

The county was established in 1999 as part of major reforms that restructured local administration across Poland. These changes created the modern administrative framework that shapes the region today.

The towns and villages here carry marks of different cultural influences in their architecture and street layouts, visible when walking through older quarters. Local communities maintain traditions through seasonal celebrations that bring people together around regional customs and shared heritage.

The region is composed of multiple administrative units, each with its own local services and institutions spread across the territory. Visitors should be aware that town centers and rural areas can differ significantly in accessibility and available facilities.

Vehicles registered here carry DOA license plates, a visible marker of their administrative belonging to this specific county. This simple detail makes the district's identity apparent whenever cars from the area pass by on the road.
