Wodzisław County

Wodzisław County spans 286 square kilometers along the Czech border, containing four urban centers and five rural communities within its territory.

The county emerged from medieval settlements and underwent transformation through the Habsburg Empire period, experiencing substantial changes during the 1999 Polish administrative reforms.

The district preserves elements of Upper Silesian traditions through its architecture, industrial heritage sites, and seasonal community celebrations throughout its municipalities.

The county connects to major transportation routes, featuring direct links to Katowice and maintains administrative services through its capital city, Wodzisław Śląski.

The territory combines both urban developments and rural landscapes, housing over 157,000 residents across nine distinct administrative subdivisions called gminas.
