| Description |
English: Sanok (in full the 'Royal Free City of Sanok' – Królewskie Wolne Miasto Sanok) is a town in south-eastern Poland.
In 981 the Gord, then inhabited by the Slavic tribe of Lendians, was made a part of Czerwień. This is when the area was first mentioned as Vladimir I of Kiev took it over on the way into Poland. In 1018 the area returned to Poland, then in 1031 it went back to Rus' before it was recovered in 1340 by Casimir III ‘The Great’. The Gord of Sanok, mentioned for the first time in the Hypatian Codex in 1150, was given Magdeburg law by Boleslaw-Yuri II of Galicia in 1339. Over the following centuries the ‘rulers’ of the Sanok area changed many times before it came under the government of Poland of today. Tadeusz Kościuszko (whose statue in Sanok is pictured here) was a Polish–Lithuanian military engineer and a military leader who became a national hero in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and the United States. He fought in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth's struggles against Russia and Prussia, and on the American side in the American Revolutionary War. As Supreme Commander of the Polish National Armed Forces, he led the 1794 Kościuszko Uprising.The Scotch Mist Gallery contains many photographs of historic buildings, monuments and memorials of Poland.
