Biłgoraj County, Administrative district in Lublin Voivodeship, Poland
The county spans 1,677 square kilometers across eastern Poland, containing four towns including its administrative center Biłgoraj and thirteen rural communities.
The territory became part of Poland in 1366 under King Kazimierz the Great, following conflicts between Poland and neighboring regions of Kiev Russia.
The northern communities of the county maintain Catholic traditions while the southern areas include Orthodox Christian and Unitarian religious practices.
The district provides administrative services through fourteen subdivided gminas, with the main offices located in Biłgoraj, 79 kilometers south of Lublin.
The region's village names reflect strong connections to forest industries, as the area was originally covered by dense woodland before systematic development.
