wzów

Wzów is a Polish toponym used for several villages and settlements in Poland. Because more than one locality bears this name, each Wzów is identified by its administrative affiliations—voivodeship, county, and gmina.

The name Wzów follows a common Polish place-name pattern, with the suffix -ów forming a possessive or locational sense. The exact origins of the individual Wzów settlements vary, but many are believed to have medieval roots as parts of larger estates or church lands and later developed into rural villages within their respective administrative units.

Geography and economy of places called Wzów are typically rural. They are usually situated in agricultural areas, sometimes near rivers or forests. The local economy is commonly centered on farming and small-scale services, with residents often relying on nearby towns for education, healthcare, and broader commercial needs. Population sizes are generally small, reflecting a village character.

Administration and services: Each Wzów is part of a gmina (municipality) within a county and voivodeship. Local governance is carried out at the gmina level, with broader policy and infrastructure coordinated through the county and voivodeship authorities.

History and notable sites: While individual Wzów settlements may have historic buildings or local landmarks, there is no single monument or feature that connects all places sharing the name. The common thread is their identity as small rural communities within Poland’s regional administrative framework.
