Gmina Jaktorów

Gmina Jaktorów extends across 55 square kilometers of land in east-central Poland, containing nineteen different villages and settlements within its borders.

The administrative region gained recognition when the last female aurochs, an ancient species of wild cattle, perished in the Jaktorów Forest in 1627.

The district maintains traditional Polish local government structures, with the central village of Jaktorów serving as the administrative headquarters for the entire commune.

The district provides municipal services to over 10,000 residents while maintaining connections with neighboring administrative regions including Żyrardów and Baranów.

The Swedish Army removed the skull of the last aurochs during their invasion of Poland, and this specimen remains in Stockholm's Livrustkammaren museum.
