******************************************
Sosnowiec is the centre of the Zagłębie Dąbrowskie area within the historic Lesser Poland region. It is located about 10 km (6.2 mi) east of Katowice and 65 km (40 mi) north of Kraków, situated in the Silesian Upland on the rivers Brynica and Przemsza, a tributary of the Vistula. The city is part of Silesian Voivodeship since its formation in 1999. Previously (since 1945), it was part of Katowice Voivodeship, and before World War II, Sosnowiec belonged to Kielce Voivodeship. Allegedly its name comes from Polish word sosna, referring to the pine forests which were common prior to 1830. It was originally known as Sosnowice. Other variations of the name include Sosnowietz, Sosnowitz, Sosnovitz (Yiddish), Sosnovyts, Sosnowyts, Sosnovytz, Sosnowytz, and Sosnovetz. There are five other smaller towns in Poland also called Sosnowiec, located in the regions of Kielce, Łódź, and Opole.
