Dębica
Dębica ([dɛmˈbit͡sa] ⓘ; Yiddish: דעמביץ Dembitz) is a town in southeastern Poland with 44,692 inhabitants as of December 2021. It is the capital of Dębica County. Since 1999 it has been situated in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship; it had previously been in the Tarnów Voivodeship (1975–1998). Dębica belongs to the historic province of Lesser Poland, and for centuries it was part of the Sandomierz Voivodeship.
According to the 2006 data, Dębica's area is 33.81 square kilometres (13.05 sq mi). Arable land makes 42% of the area of the town, while forests make 19%. Dębica is the seat of the county, and the town covers 4.34% of the county's area. Dębica lies at the border of two geographical regions of Poland – the Carpathian Piedmont in southern districts of the town, and the Sandomierz Basin in its north, along the Wisłoka river.
Since the mid-1930s Dębica, despite its size, has been a large industrial hub. A number of companies were then created thanks to government-led industrial development programs.
Most of these companies still exist today, though they were privatized in the 1990s:
Since the early 1990s a relatively large number (relative to the city's size) of successful companies have been started and run by local residents:
The A4 highway passes just north of the city, with two exits providing access to Dębica. The westbound section of the highway, from Dębica to Tarnów, was completed in October 2014. As a result, the city now has a direct highway connection to Poland's western border, and consequently to all of Western Europe. A drive to Kraków (approximately 120 km (75 mi)) takes about an hour, while Rzeszów, the capital of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, located east of Dębica, can be reached in under 30 minutes.
Dębica is also situated along National Road 94, which was previously part of the European route E40. This two-lane road has been renovated in recent years, but with the completion of the A4 highway, its importance has diminished. Additionally, Dębica is connected to the cities of Mielec and Tarnobrzeg via local road number 985. Dębica is located on a key railway line that runs from Poland's western to eastern borders. Trains on this line can reach speeds of up to 160 km/h, allowing the fastest Express InterCity Premium services to reach Kraków in just over an hour. Between 1988 and 1990, Dębica was also connected to Straszęcin by a trolleybus line.[citation needed]
Dębica has been home to two branches of higher education institutions:
