Sokółka, Administrative center in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland.
The town stretches along the international Warsaw-Białystok-Grodno rail line, surrounded by glacial hills reaching 230 meters above sea level in northeastern Poland.
King Sigismund III Vasa granted town rights to Sokółka in 1609, establishing its square layout under the direction of starost Antoni Tyzenhauz.
The Museum of Sokółka Land exhibits regional folk art, featuring collections of traditional pottery, weaving crafts, and artifacts from the local Tartar community.
The municipality encompasses 314 square kilometers with 90 villages, hosting regular Monday markets and maintaining direct transport connections to Białystok and Warsaw.
The region maintains a heritage of breeding Sokółka cold-blooded horses and preserves wooden mosques in nearby Bohoniki and Kruszyniany villages.
