Gmina Jednorożec

Gmina Jednorożec is a rural administrative district in central Poland containing 21 villages and settlements spread across its territory. The municipal office located in Jednorożec village handles finance, civil registration, and local development matters.

The district was established in 1867 as a formal administrative unit serving the rural population of the region. Its creation helped organize local governance across the scattered villages and settlements of the area.

The name comes from a local legend about a beekeeper who encountered a unicorn during a royal hunt. This tale inspired Prince Janusz III Mazowiecki to build a hunting lodge in the area.

The area is crossed by three rivers which influence the local landscape and land use patterns throughout the district. Several nature conservation areas are distributed across the territory and should be considered when planning visits.

Three rivers flow through the district, the Orzyc, Ulatowka, and Pludownica, creating distinct ecological zones across the landscape. Portions of the territory are designated as Natura 2000 protected areas that support rare plant and animal species.
