Bia��ystok [[b��a��w��st��k] (byah-WIH-stock; Belarusian: ���������������� Bielastok, Lithuanian: Balstog��, Russian: ���������������� Belostok, Yiddish: ������������������������� Byalistok) is the largest city in northeastern Poland and the capital of the Podlaskie Voivodeship.Located in the Bia��ystok Uplands (Polish: Wysoczyzna Bia��ostocka) of the Podlaskie Plain (Polish: Nizina P����nocnopodlaska) on the banks of the Bia��a River, Bia��ystok ranks second in terms of population density, eleventh in population, and thirteenth in area, of the cities of Poland. It has historically attracted migrants from elsewhere in Poland and beyond, particularly from Central and Eastern Europe. This is facilitated by the fact that the nearby border with Belarus is also the eastern border of the European Union, as well as the Schengen Area. The city and its adjacent municipalities constitute Metropolitan Bia��ystok. The city has a Warm Summer Continental climate, characterized by warm summers and long frosty winters. Forests are an important part of Bia��ystok's character, and occupy around 1,756 ha (4,340 acres) (17.2% of the administrative area of the city) which places it as the fifth most forested city in Poland.The first settlers arrived in the 14th century. A town grew up and received its municipal charter in 1692. Bia��ystok has traditionally been one of the leading centers of academic, cultural, and artistic life in Podlaskie and the most important economic center in northeastern Poland. In the nineteenth century Bia��ystok was an important center for light industry, which was the reason for the substantial growth of the city's population. But after the fall of communism in 1989 many of these factories faced severe problems and subsequently closed down. Through the infusion of EU investment funds, the city continues to work to reshape itself into a modern metropolis. Bia��ystok in 2010, was on the short-list, but ultimately lost the competition to become a finalist for European Capital of Culture in 2016. Over the centuries Bia��ystok has produced a number of people who have provided unique contributions to the fields of science, language, politics, religion, sports, visual arts and performing arts. This environment was created in the mid-eighteenth century by the patronage of Jan Klemens Branicki for the arts and sciences. These include Ryszard Kaczorowski, the last ��migr�� President of the Republic of Poland; L. L. Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto; and Albert Sabin, the co-developer of the polio vaccine.

Bia��o-czarna is the first album by Polish thrash metal band Kat & Roman Kostrzewski.

For other places in Poland with that name, see Bia��obrzegi (disambiguation).Bia��obrzegi [b��aw����b��������i] is a town in Poland, in Masovian Voivodeship, about 60 kilometres (37 miles) south of Warsaw. Since 1998 it has been the capital of Bia��obrzegi County. From 1975 to 1998, the town administratively belonged to Radom Voivodeship. Prior to 1975, it belonged to Kielce Voivodeship (1919 - 1975).

Bia��obrzegi is placed on boundary of two major Polish historical regions - Lesser Poland and Mazovia, and was not administratively tied with Mazovia and Warsaw until 1999.The history of the town dates back to 1540, when King Sigismund I the Old granted town rights to the town of Brzegi, which was located on the left bank of the Pilica, on the territory of Lesser Poland. At that time, Brzegi belonged to a local noble woman Anna Fa����cka, then it was property of other families. The town never gained significance and remained a small center, whose population was involved in trade and agriculture. During the January Uprising, several units operated in the area, and in 1870, as a reprisal for residents��� support of the insurrection, Bia��obrzegi was stripped of its town privileges and became a settlement. In 1910, a fire destroyed much of Bia��obrzegi.

It now is an important road hub, where Expressway S7 crosses with National Road nr. 48.
