Wadowice County, Administrative district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
Wadowice County encompasses 646 square kilometers of territory in southern Poland, containing ten municipalities and serving approximately 160,000 residents.
The county emerged from administrative reforms in 1999, although its capital city Wadowice dates back to medieval times as part of the Kraków diocese established in 1000.
The district headquarters of Wadowice gained international recognition as the birthplace of Karol Wojtyła, who later became Pope John Paul II in 1978.
The county borders six administrative regions including Kraków County to the east and Oświęcim County to the northwest, providing access to major transportation routes.
Local governance operates through a system of ten gminas, including three urban-rural municipalities centered around Wadowice, Andrychów, and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska.
