Ostrów Mazowiecka, Urban municipality in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland.

Ostrów Mazowiecka is an urban settlement in Masovian Voivodeship, located in northeastern Poland. It sits at a key junction where transportation routes connect surrounding regions and serve as a passage toward major cities in the area.

The town received its charter in 1434 when Duke Bolesław IV granted it formal status, making it a significant settlement in the Masovian region. This early authorization marked the beginning of its development as an organized community.

The local community developed a specific Yiddish dialect incorporating elements from central Poland and Lithuania, with pronunciations closely resembling northern Lithuanian patterns.

The area has good road connections and serves as a convenient stopping point for travelers passing through. Visitors can expect standard facilities and services typical of a transport hub along major routes.

In 1514, Duchess Anna Radziwiłł established four annual fairs and a weekly market, initiating a trading tradition that shaped the town's development.
