History

Zagórz is the most southeasterly railroad junction of the PKP, with lines going into three directions - eastwards (to Krościenko and Ukrainian border), southwards (to Nowy Łupków and Slovakian border) and westwards (to Jasło and the rest of the country).

There existed a Nazi concentration camp during World War II in Zasław, now part of Zagórz.
