Nowosolna

The municipality of Nowosolna, located in the Łódź Voivodeship, in the Łódź East County, was established in 1867. Its seat is the village of Nowosolna, which formally does not belong to the municipality, leading to numerous administrative misunderstandings. The municipality has an agricultural character, with about 800 farms and an area of 53.98 km², dominated by agricultural land (70%) and forests (23%). Within the municipality lies the Wiączyń Nature Reserve, which protects a fragment of deciduous forest. Among the cultural resources of the municipality, architectural monuments stand out, such as the medieval stronghold in Stare Skoszewy, the manor in Byszewy associated with Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, and numerous Evangelical cemeteries that serve as reminders of German settlers. The municipality bears traces of a complex history, including its affiliation with the Congress Kingdom of Poland and the incorporation of part of its territory into Łódź as a result of World War II. The municipality was reactivated in 1973 with new borders, which reduced the area of its former villages. In 1988, the municipality's area was again reduced by incorporating several localities into Łódź. Currently, Nowosolna is home to Roman Catholic residents belonging to several parishes, as well as a small group of followers of the Old Catholic Mariavite Church. The municipality operates three primary schools, highlighting its commitment to educating the local community. Interestingly, the name of the municipality has remained unchanged despite the development of Łódź, leading to numerous problems, especially in an administrative context. The municipality borders Andrespol, Brzeziny, Łódź, and Stryków, placing it in a dynamically developing region.
