Chełm County, Administrative district in Lublin Voivodeship, Poland

Chełm County extends across 1,780 square kilometers of eastern Poland, encompassing fifteen distinct municipal districts and the town of Rejowiec Fabryczny.

The county was formally established in 1999 following Polish administrative reforms, incorporating territories that had previously belonged to different regional jurisdictions.

Each of the fifteen municipalities within Chełm County maintains distinct traditions through local festivals, agricultural practices, and community gatherings.

The county borders Ukraine to the east, making it a strategic point for international trade and border relations between Poland and its eastern neighbors.

The region features underground chalk tunnels dating back several centuries, remnants of extensive mining operations that shaped the local geography.
