Rajgród, Medieval town in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland
Rajgród stands on elevated terrain between Lake Rajgrodzkie and the Jegrznia River, incorporating both urban areas and natural landscapes within its boundaries.
The settlement originated as a Yotvingian stronghold around 9000 BC, later receiving town rights in 1568 and becoming an administrative center for the local timber trade.
The town developed a strong Jewish presence from 1587, with the community establishing a synagogue and cemetery while contributing to local commerce through fish trading.
Located 46 miles northeast of Łomża and 45 miles northwest of Białystok, Rajgród serves as an administrative center within the Grajewo County region.
The medieval defensive structure ordered by King Casimir III the Great in 1360 represented one of the northernmost Polish fortifications of that period.
