Zabłudów

Zabłudów is located in the south-eastern part of Podlaskie Voivodeship in Bialystok County. It covers an area of 340 km2 and has a population of more than 9000 people. It is administratively divided into the seat of the municipal authority, the town of Zabłudów, which has had municipal rights since 1553, and 45 village administrations. The Zabłudów commune directly borders the capital of the Podlaskie Voivodeship - Białystok - to the north, which has an impact on the concentration of single and multi-family housing and areas associated with developing economic activities in this part of the commune, while in the southern part of the commune agrarian activities are concentrated. In the agricultural sphere, there are mainly individual, family farms engaged in subsistence farming. Also noticeable is the interest of rural residents in running agrotourism farms as a form of additional income.
