Hajnówka, Administrative center in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland.
Hajnówka serves as the administrative center of Hajnówka County at the edge of Białowieża Forest. The Leśna Prawa River runs through the town's residential areas, shaping its layout and neighborhoods.
The settlement originated in the 16th century when a royal officer named Hajno built a protective outpost near the forest. This early defensive role shaped the town's later development as a regional center.
The town reflects Orthodox traditions through its architecture and local customs visible throughout the streets. Belarusian and Polish influences shape daily life and community practices in the area.
The town functions well as an administrative and service hub for the surrounding region. Visitors find amenities, shops, and accommodations here to explore the nearby forest and local area.
The town's name comes directly from Hajno, a royal officer from the 16th century, preserving his memory in the place name itself. This linguistic connection links the modern town directly to its founder and origins.
