Leoncin, Administrative village in Nowy Dwór County, Poland
Leoncin extends across the eastern region of Nowy Dwór County, serving as the administrative center for the surrounding rural district of Gmina Leoncin.
The village underwent demographic changes during World War I when Russian authorities expelled Jewish residents, though some returned after Poland regained independence.
The neogothic St. Margaret's Church, constructed in 1885, stands as the central religious structure alongside an 18th-century wooden chapel at the cemetery.
Located 37 kilometers northwest of Warsaw, Leoncin functions as a municipal center providing administrative services for the surrounding communities.
Nobel Prize laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer was born in Leoncin around 1903, where his family resided until relocating to Radzymin in 1906.
