Drążgów (Polish:, also Drzązgów or Drążków) is a village, formerly a town, in the administrative district of Gmina Ułęż, within Ryki County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. It lies approximately 3km (02miles) south-east of Ułęż, 150NaN0 east of Ryki, and 480NaN0 north-west of the regional capital Lublin.[2]
The earliest known settlement on the present site of Drążgów belonged to the Pomeranian culture which occupied these territories between the 7th and the 3rd century BC. Later finds include a cemetery belonging to the Przeworsk culture and an Early Medieval cemetery dated between 10th and 12th century CE.[3] In 1337 a church and a parish were established here.[4] In 1569 it was a small town located in Stężyca Land with 371 inhabitants working as craftsmen, distillers, and fishermen.[5] In 1575 its owner, Mikołaj Złoczowski, converted the church to an Arian congregation; this lasted 30 years. In 1827 the town had a population of 138 living in 50 houses. By the end of the 19th century it had 394 inhabitants and 60 houses.
