Powiat sztumski

Powiat sztumski is an administrative county located in Pomeranian Voivodeship covering approximately 730 square kilometers. The territory includes two towns and several rural communities spread across five municipalities with distinct local governance.

The county was established in 2002 as an independent administrative entity following its separation from Malbork County. This creation reflected long-standing requests from local communities for greater administrative autonomy and self-governance.

The region's communities maintain local traditions and customs that shape daily life across its five municipalities. Visitors can observe how individual towns and villages preserve their distinct character while operating as part of the larger administrative structure.

The district sits at a crossroads connecting to eight neighboring administrative regions, offering convenient access to surrounding areas. Gdańsk lies about 56 kilometers to the northwest and serves as a major urban hub nearby.

The territory maintains a distinctive administrative balance with two town-based municipalities alongside three purely rural ones. This urban-rural mix creates a unique dynamic that shapes how the region functions and develops.
