Chocianów, Administrative center in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Chocianów extends across 7.31 square kilometers of land in Polkowice County, maintaining a population of 7,869 residents as of December 2021.

Duke Bolko I the Strict constructed the Chodzenow castle in 1297 to protect his territory from the advances of Wenceslaus II of Bohemia.

The town transformed from a medieval defensive settlement into an administrative center, receiving formal town privileges in 1894 during the German period.

Located 14 kilometers southwest of Polkowice and 85 kilometers west of Wrocław, Chocianów connects to major regional centers through local road networks.

The town experienced significant demographic shifts, from 4,301 residents in 1939 to 1,707 in 1946 due to World War II consequences.
