Kobyla Góra is a village in Greater Poland Voivodeship situated at around 200 meters elevation and serves as the administrative center for its surrounding district. It features typical rural architecture and is connected by local roads that link it to nearby towns.

During the Polish Kingdom era, this settlement functioned as a private town within Sieradz Voivodeship before becoming part of Ostrzeszów County administration. Over time it evolved into a rural administrative center with its own local importance.

The church dedicated to Saint Hedwig serves as a focal point where the community gathers and local rural customs are observed. It stands at the heart of how residents experience their village life.

The village is situated roughly 12 kilometers west of Ostrzeszów and approximately 130 kilometers southeast of Poznań, making it reasonably accessible. Visitors should expect that local roads form the backbone of connections and public transport options may be limited.

The name comes from Slavic roots where 'Kobyla' refers to a mare, pointing to the area's historical involvement in horse-related activities. This reflects the agricultural past when horses were central to work and daily survival.
