Kazimierza County

Kazimierza County is an administrative unit in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship comprising five gminas and two main towns. The territory covers a rural, agricultural landscape with Kazimierza Wielka serving as the administrative center.

The county was established through Poland's administrative reform of 1998 and officially created on January 1, 1999. This restructuring was part of a nationwide reorganization of local government.

The five gminas maintain local farming customs and village traditions that are typical of the region. Visitors can observe these practices and ways of life in the small towns and settlements today.

The county is located roughly 70 kilometers south of Kielce and is best reached by car, as public transportation is limited. Kazimierza Wielka provides basic amenities and services for visitors exploring the area.

The territory contains a sugar refinery established in 1845, one of the earliest industrial facilities in this part of Poland. This historic facility shows how industrialization reached this rural area in the 19th century.
