Podkarpackie, województwo (province), southeastern Poland. It is bounded by the provinces of Lubelskie to the north, Małopolskie to the west, and Świętokrzyskie to the northwest and by the countries of Ukraine to the east and Slovakia to the south. Created in 1999, it is composed of the former provinces (1975–98) of Rzeszów, Przemyśl, and Krosno, a...
The relief structure of the province is varied. The northern part of Podkarpackie consists of lowlands and uplands, while the Lower Beskid Mountains and the Bieszczady Mountains dominate the south. The highest point is Mount Tarnica (4,415 feet [1,346 metres]) in the Bieszczady. The main rivers are the Vistula (Wisła), San, Wisłoka, and Wisłok. Forests take up one-third of the total area, with the most heavily forested areas occurring in the Bieszczady Mountains and the Sandomierz Basin in the northern part of the province. The Sandomierz Basin is one of the warmest areas of Poland, with hot summers and a long growing season. In the Bieszczady Mountains, however, snow cover lingers into the summer. Before World War II the region was inhabited by Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews. It is now mostly Polish, though some Ukrainians still live in the eastern part of the province. Only two-fifths of the population is urban. The largest cities are Rzeszów, Stalowa Wola, Przemyśl, and Mielec.
Almost half of Podkarpackie is set aside for agriculture, but fertile soil is found primarily in the middle portion of the region. The chief crops include cereals, potatoes, sugar beets, and vegetables. Cattle breeding (mostly dairy cattle), pig raising, sheep farming, and horse breeding are of considerable importance. Major industries include vehicle and aircraft manufacturing, food processing, chemicals production, machinery manufacturing, steelmaking, munitions manufacturing, and glassmaking. Tarnobrzeg has one of the richest sulfur deposits in the world. Petroleum and natural gas reserves in the Krosno-Jasło oilfield are nearly depleted. The province’s railway system is not well-developed, but its road network is extensive. Domestic flights and some international flights leave from the airport in Rzeszów-Jasionka.
The western part of the region historically belonged to the tribe of Wiślanie, and in the 10th century it was incorporated into the Polish state. The eastern part, along the Russian border, was long claimed by Russian dukes but was annexed to Poland during the 14th-century reign of Casimir III. During this period the grain and cloth trade flourished. Swedish, Saxon, Tatar, and Russian invasions in the 17th century, however, destabilized the region and crippled the economy. Following the Partitions of Poland (1772, 1793, and 1795), the whole area (known as Galicia) came under Austrian rule.
During the early 19th century Galicia was the poorest region of Poland. The impoverishment of the rural population and the division of land holdings led to a peasant revolt in 1846. In the late 19th century Galicia was granted autonomy. New roads and railway lines were built, and petroleum reserves near Krosno and Jasło were developed. Nevertheless, abject poverty and overpopulation in rural areas fueled a wave of emigration to Germany and both North and South America (the so-called “Brazilian Rush”). Following the reestablishment of an independent Poland in 1918, the region was divided between Lwów (Lviv) and Cracow provinces. A number of large industrial plants were opened in Rzeszów, Mielec, Dębica, and Stalowa Wola, which operated as part of the Central Industrial District in the late 1930s and helped remedy the region’s severe unemployment problem. During World War II the Germans established a number of concentration and detention camps in the area. In addition, more than 140,000 people were deported to Germany to work as forced labourers. In the early postwar years the eastern portion of the province was the scene of fighting against the remnants of the Ukrainian Liberation Army, which sought to establish an independent Ukrainian state. In 1947 the Ukrainian and Ruthenian population was relocated to Silesia and to the territories gained from defeated Germany. The mass relocation resulted in the almost total depopulation of the lands in the Bieszczady and Lower Beskid mountains.
