Cewków is a village located on the Tarnogród Plateau in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, within the Lubaczów County. It serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Parish of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Established in 1467, the village was founded by woodcutters who were its first settlers in an area then covered by wilderness. Cewków was mentioned in tax registers in 1531, and the existence of a church dates back to 1578. In the 19th century, the village came into the hands of Władysław Zamoyski, and during the 20th century, it witnessed clashes with UPA units, during which Ukrainian nationalists murdered 16 Poles. An interesting fact is that on May 14, 1951, events related to the parachute drop of OUN members took place in Cewków. The village also has natural gas deposits. A Greek Catholic wooden church dedicated to St. Demetrius, built in 1844, stands in Cewków. It suffered destruction after World War II. The local school has a long history dating back to the 1830s and currently educates students from surrounding areas. Architecturally, the village blends traditional wooden structures with modern buildings. Culturally, Cewków is a place where diverse traditions intersect, illustrated by the presence of a Roman Catholic church, a Greek Catholic church, and a congregation of the Secular Missionary Movement "Epiphany." With its rich history and cultural diversity, Cewków is an intriguing point on the regional map.
