Lubartów

Lubartów is a town in eastern Poland, located in the Lublin Voivodeship, about 81 kilometers north of Lublin and 153 kilometers southeast of Warsaw. It has a population of approximately 11,000 people. The town is situated in the basin of the Bystrzyca River, a right tributary of the Vistula River.

The name Lubartów is derived from the Polish noble family of Lubart, which received the town as a gift from Casimir III the Great, the King of Poland, in the 14th century. The town's history dates back to the medieval period, and it has been part of various Polish states throughout its history. In the 14th century, Lubartów was granted market town rights by King Casimir III, which allowed traders to set up shops and stores in the town.

In World War I, the town was occupied by German forces, and during World War II, Lubartów was one of the main supply bases for the Warsaw Uprising. After the war, the town was rebuilt and experienced an economic boom. Today, Lubartów is a major industrial center in the region, with companies involved in the production of food, glass, and machinery.

The town features several monuments and historical sites, including the Lubartów Castle, a modern museum, a public library, and a parish church. The economy is driven primarily by heavy industry and local services, with the development of nearby agricultural areas also contributing to the town's growth.
