Lubartów County

Lubartów County, located in the Lublin Voivodeship, was established in 1999. Its seat is the town of Lubartów, which plays an important role in the region both administratively and culturally. The county includes urban, urban-rural, and rural municipalities, as well as four towns: Kamionka, Kock, Lubartów, and Ostrów Lubelski. The history of the county dates back to the distant past, and in 1870, as many as five localities lost their town rights, including Kamionka, Firlej, Michów, Ostrów Lubelski, and Jeziorzany. Interestingly, Ostrów Lubelski regained its town rights in 1919, while Kamionka only joined the ranks of towns in 2021. Demographically, Lubartów County had 88,352 inhabitants in 2019, and in 2020, the population was 88,152. The county governors have changed over time, with notable figures such as Marian Starownik and Fryderyk Puła, and currently, Tomasz Marzęda holds the position. The region also features various architectural and cultural elements that reflect its rich history and social diversity, creating a unique atmosphere of the area. The county borders others that also shape its character, including Parczew, Łęczna, Lublin, Puławy, Ryki, Łuków, and Radzyń Podlaski counties. Another interesting aspect of the county is its developing infrastructure and efforts to preserve local traditions and cultural heritage.
