List of Polish gminas

Poland has had a long history of having gminas as an administrative division. In Interwar Poland, gminas also were local self-governing entities. This system stayed after World War II until administrative reform in 1950. Over time, over half of the gromadas were merged into larger entities, until the larger gminas were reinstated in 1973, decreasing the number of municipalities to 3,201. Further reductions brought the number down to below 2,900 by 1977. Meanwhile, Poland abolished counties completely and introduced a new, two-tier administrative division system, with 49 smaller voivodeships and gminas. The last major change happened with the return to the three-tier administrative division in 1999, when some county mergers were reversed and some of the largest cities became city with powiat rights. Since then, the vast majority of changes have been made with the Council of Ministry granting city-rights to smaller settlements that had previously lost theirs, even for settlements as small as 330 inhabitants. As of 1 January 2021, the number of gminas according to its type is the following: ==List==
