Szydłowiec County

Szydłowiec County is an administrative county in Masovian Voivodeship covering approximately 450 square kilometers. The territory is divided into five gminas, with the town of Szydłowiec serving as the central administrative hub and four rural districts forming the remainder.

This administrative unit was established in 1999 during Poland's local government reorganization. The restructuring followed the country's post-communist transformation and shaped the present territorial framework.

Rural communities preserve traditional ways of living that show up in local markets and seasonal gatherings. Visitors can experience this farming culture directly through everyday encounters with residents and locally produced goods.

The area sits about 110 kilometers south of Warsaw and is accessible through regional roads. Vehicles registered here display the WSZ prefix on their license plates.

The territory has a balanced population split between its urban core and surrounding rural areas. This distribution creates a relatively sparse population density of around 88 people per square kilometer.
