Okularów

Okularów is a village situated within the administrative district of Gmina Bieżuńmierz, in Piaseczno County of the Masovian Voivodeship, east-central Poland. The settlement lies approximately 12 kilometres south-west of the county capital Piaseczno and 30 kilometres south of Warsaw, the national capital. According to the Central Statistical Office of Poland, the population of Okularów is around 150 residents, all of whom are predominantly involved in agricultural activities and small-scale farming.

The first recorded mention of Okularów dates back to the mid‑17th century, documented in a land registry of the Polish Commonwealth. Throughout its history, the village has maintained a quiet rural character, even as nearby urban centres expanded and industrialised. The local economy continues to rely on the cultivation of cereals, potatoes, and dairy farming. A small community centre serves as a hub for social gatherings, and the village hosts an annual harvest festival that attracts visitors from neighbouring settlements.

Okularów is located along a modest arterial road that connects it to larger towns in the region, providing residents with access to essential services such as schools, healthcare, and markets. While it does not have significant tourist attractions of its own, the village’s pastoral setting offers a glimpse into the continuing traditions of rural life in central Poland.
