Opis

Myszków is a town in Poland, with 33,016 inhabitants (2004). Situated on the Warta river in the Silesian Voivodeship (since 1999), previously in Częstochowa Voivodeship (1975-1998), it is the capital of Myszków County. Myszków historically belongs to Lesser Poland, and the area where the town is now located, until the Partitions of Poland was part of Kraków Voivodeship’s County of Lelów. Myszków is located along one of the oldest Polish rail lines - the Warsaw–Vienna railway, also, near the town goes another important rail line - the Central Rail LineMyszków occupies the area of 73.59km2, of which 56% is arable land, and 22% forests. Since 1925 it has been the seat of a gmina, but Myszków officially remained a village until 1950, when it received town charter. Today’s Myszków is made of a number of former villages, towns and settlements (Mrzygłód, Nowa Wieś, Pohulanka, Będusz, Helenówka, Myszków, Mijaczów, Ciszówka), which had existed here for centuries. Myszków is home to a sports club MKS Myszków, which was founded in 1947, and whose name changed several times (Jedność, Stal, Papiernik, Krisbut, MŻKS). The town is located on the elevation of 280 meters above sea level, in a valley between Silesian Highlands and Polish Jura, and some of its districts are part of the Jura Landscape Parks. Myszków is characteristic for its settlement type of architecture, which is the result of mergers of numerous villages into its borders.
