Łosice County

Łosicki County, located in the Masovian Voivodeship, was established on January 1, 1956, and initially comprised 30 gromadas (rural administrative units) and the town of Łosice. The county underwent numerous administrative reforms, including the abolition of gromadas and the reactivation of gminas (municipalities) in 1973, as well as changes in its voivodeship affiliation. In 1999, as part of the administrative reform, the county was restored in a new form, retaining the town of Łosice as its capital. The county's demographics indicate a stable population, which stood at 30,774 in 2019 and decreased to 30,658 in 2020. The county consists of urban-rural and rural gminas, with Łosice characterized by its local architecture and infrastructure. Łosicki County is also notable for its historical richness, reflected in its preserved buildings and regional traditions, although some areas of the county were transferred to other administrative units, influencing its current shape. An interesting fact is that the county is the easternmost county of the Masovian Voivodeship, highlighting its unique geographical position. The starosts (county administrators) who have led the county since its reactivation represent various political parties, reflecting the region's political dynamics. Neighboring counties include Siedlecki, Siemiatycki, and Bialski, fostering cooperation among them in the development of local culture and infrastructure.
