Rzeszów County

Rzeszów County is an administrative district in Subcarpathian Voivodeship with fourteen municipalities spread across roughly 1,200 square kilometers. The territory surrounds but excludes the city of Rzeszów, and contains six main towns with varied landscapes.

The county was established in 1999 during major administrative reforms that reshaped Poland's local government after the Soviet period ended. This restructuring created the current boundaries and management framework.

The region relies on farming and traditional crafts in its villages, while its towns host modern businesses and workshops. This blend of rural work and urban activities shapes how people here spend their days.

The territory connects through national road 94 and railway lines that provide good access to neighboring areas. Visitors can travel easily between the various municipalities and to the nearby city of Rzeszów.

The territory takes its name from a major city that it surrounds but does not include within its boundaries. This unusual arrangement makes it a distinctive administrative case in southeastern Poland.
