Wołomin County

Wołomin County is an administrative area in east-central Poland containing six towns and many rural communities across twelve municipalities. The territory includes residential zones, green spaces, and natural habitats.

This administrative area was created through Polish local government reforms and officially established in 1999 as part of a major reorganization of the Masovian Voivodeship. The restructuring aimed to modernize and decentralize administrative systems.

The area maintains ties with Warsaw while developing its own identity through local sports teams, notably the professional women's basketball team BS Wołomin. These teams shape daily life and create gathering places for residents.

The area lies about 22 kilometers northeast of Warsaw and functions as a residential zone with good transportation connections. Its proximity to the capital makes commuting practical for working residents.

The territory includes significant natural areas along the Bug River, which shapes water management and environmental conservation. These zones form green corridors valuable for both wildlife and visitors.
