Gmina Zator

Gmina Zator is an administrative unit in Oświęcim County in southern Poland, encompassing the town of Zator and several surrounding villages. The area spans across plains and rolling land with a mix of urban structures and rural settlements.

The area received its current administrative form during Poland's comprehensive 1998 reform, which divided the country into voivodeships, counties, and municipal units. This restructuring created the framework that still organizes the region today.

The district maintains local governance through an elected council and mayor, who manage community services and organize regional development initiatives.

The administrative center is located in the town of Zator, situated about 37 kilometers west of Kraków and accessible from there. The nine villages are spread across the territory, creating a mix of urban and rural accessibility.

The district contains nine distinct villages including Graboszyce, Grodzisko, Laskowa, and Łowiczki, each contributing to the region's population density of 180 people per kilometer.
