Węgrów [ˈvɛŋɡruf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Długołęka, within Wrocław County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]
The village lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) north of Długołęka and 20 kilometres (12 mi) north-east of the regional capital Wrocław.
The area became part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century. Centuries later it passed to Bohemia (Czechia), Prussia and Germany. It became again part of Poland following Germany's defeat in World War II in 1945.
