Sokołów County

Sokołów County is an administrative region in Masovian Voivodeship with nine communities including one urban gmina, one mixed urban-rural gmina, and seven rural gminas. The area comprises both populated zones and countryside with Sokołów Podlaski serving as the administrative seat.

The territory was established in 1999 through Poland's local government reforms that reorganized administrative divisions after the end of communist rule. This restructuring created the modern administrative framework that exists today.

The nine communities preserve traditional craftsmanship and local customs visible in the weekly markets of Sokołów Podlaski. Visitors encounter handmade goods and regional food specialties that reflect the heritage of this Masovian area.

The county seat of Sokołów Podlaski connects easily to Warsaw and other towns through main roads and provides essential services for residents and visitors. The infrastructure allows straightforward travel between the various communities within the region.

Sokołów Podlaski functions as an independent city county despite its location within the powiat, maintaining separate administrative status. This arrangement creates a dual structure where the city remains regionally significant while operating autonomously in governance matters.
