Jednorożec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jednorożec is a large village (small town by European standards) in central Poland, in Przasnysz County. Located in the Mazovian Voivodeship, the town is one of the centres of the historical region of Kurpie.
The town has a history going back at least three hundred years, including surviving the Swedish invasion of Poland at the turn of the 17th century.
The area is primarily an agricultural one of fields and forests. A monument on the main street in town is dedicated to all those who emigrated from the town to America during the mass emigration period of 1870-1910.
Today, residents live in new homes alongside refurbished and preserved older homes. Historic sites, monuments and buildings are well preserved by the townspeople.
