Starogard County

Starogard County is an administrative district in the Pomeranian Voivodeship covering several municipalities with four main urban centers distributed across the territory. The area brings together rural communities and town centers in a connected but decentralized arrangement.

The county took its present form following Poland's administrative reforms in 1999, which consolidated multiple smaller administrative units into a single district. This restructuring established the framework that continues to organize the area today.

The area holds deep ties to the Kociewiacy people, a distinctive ethnic group whose customs and way of speaking shape local identity today. You can sense this heritage in how residents relate to their surroundings and local traditions.

The county is relatively compact and easy to navigate, with convenient connections to the nearby city of Gdańsk for broader services and facilities. It helps to focus your visit on specific towns or areas to get the most from exploring here.

The place's name has ancient Slavic roots pointing to its earlier role as a fortified settlement in the region. This linguistic heritage reveals how long people have inhabited and shaped this area.
