Majdan Królewski

Majdan Królewski is a village in southeastern Poland that serves as the administrative center for its municipality in Kolbuszowa County. The settlement is situated within a forested region and oversees several smaller communities as part of its local administrative structure.

The settlement originated in the 17th century and likely received city rights near the end of the 18th century, though written confirmation of this status has not survived. The name change from Majdan Kolbuszowski to Majdan Królewski in 1938 reflects an older connection to royal military encampments.

The church building from 1792 remains a central landmark in village life and serves residents from surrounding areas. It continues to function as a gathering place for the local religious community today.

The village lies roughly 15 kilometers north of Kolbuszowa and about 43 kilometers northwest of Rzeszów, making it accessible from these larger towns. The forested setting means traveling by car is the most practical way to visit the area.

The term Majdan comes from Polish and refers to royal or noble encampments that were common in this region during early modern times. This historical name origin remains largely unknown to visitors despite reflecting the territorial past of the place.
