Limanowa County, Administrative district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
Description
Limanowa County is an administrative district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship covering approximately 951 square kilometers in southern Poland. The area comprises twelve administrative subdivisions, including two urban and ten rural municipalities, with Limanowa serving as the administrative center.
History
The district was established on January 1, 1999, following a nationwide administrative reform that restructured territorial governance throughout Poland. This reorganization reshaped boundaries and administrative structures across the entire country.
Culture
Two distinct communities shape life in the region: the Gorals inhabit the areas around Mszana Dolna and Niedziewiedź and maintain their own traditions. The Lachs populate the remaining areas and influence local customs and daily practices in different ways.
Practical
The area is easily accessible from nearby Kraków and offers a mix of urban centers and rural communities with varying transportation connections. Visitors should note that the rural character means services and amenities are less frequent outside the main towns.
