Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Administrative territorial entity in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland
Nowy Dwór Gdański County covers approximately 650 square kilometers and comprises five distinct municipalities, including the coastal town of Krynica Morska on the Baltic Sea. The area mixes urban centers with farmland and water bodies.
The county took its present form in 1999 through a major administrative reform that reorganized Poland's local government system. This restructuring established how the area is governed today.
The five municipalities within the county maintain separate local traditions rooted in Slavic heritage and shaped by proximity to the Baltic Sea. These influences are visible in how communities celebrate and the way people use public spaces.
The administrative center is located in Nowy Dwór Gdański and serves around 36,000 residents across the county. Visitors will find a mix of urban services and rural character depending on which municipality they explore.
The county borders Russia's Kaliningrad region to the north and extends eastward to the Vistula Lagoon. This location on Europe's eastern edge gives it a distinctive geographical position.
