dwików

Dwików is the name of multiple small settlements in Poland. The toponym is part of a common pattern in Polish village names, where the suffix -ów often marks ownership or association with a person or family, a naming practice dating from the medieval era.

Each Dwików belongs to a gmina (municipality) and a powiat (county) within a voivodeship (województwo). In many cases, villages are organized as a sołectwo, a local administrative unit represented by a sołtys and a village council, operating within the broader gmina authorities.

Geography and economy: Dwikóws are typically rural, situated in agricultural landscapes with fields, meadows, and small streams. The local economy centers on farming and related services, with some residents commuting to nearby towns for work.

History and culture: The name and settlement pattern reflect common medieval development of rural Poland, with later changes through land reform and modernization in the 19th and 20th centuries. Community life often centers on a parish church, a cemetery, a school, and local associations that organize cultural and religious events.

Disambiguation: Because more than one place bears the name Dwików, precise details such as location, population, and governance require disambiguation by voivodeship and county. In reference works, entries about Dwików typically link to the specific Dwików being described to avoid confusion.
