Warta Bolesławiecka [ˈvarta bɔlɛswaˈvjɛt͡ska] (German: Alt Warthau) is a village in Bolesławiec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Warta Bolesławiecka. It lies approximately 9 km (6 mi) south-east of Bolesławiec, and 97 km (60 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
From 1975 to 1998 the village was in Legnica Voivodeship.
