Article History

Jastrzębie Zdrój, city, Śląskie województwo (province), southern Poland. Joined by the cities of Racibórz and Rybnik, Jastrzębie Zdrój forms a secondary industrial zone within the Upper Silesian area that borders the Czech industrial region of Ostrava.

Jastrzębie Zdrój became popular in the 1860s as a thermal spa whose iodobromide waters were used to treat nervous disorders, rheumatism, and heart diseases. When it received city rights in 1963 its population was 3,000. The discovery of large coking-coal deposits near the city caused a dramatic surge in population within the decade. Pop. (2011) 92,465.
