# Starachowice

A settlement in Poland.

## English name

**Starachowice** — Current Polish Latin-script name, retained in English; no transliteration is needed.

Other forms in use:

- **Starachowice-Wierzbnik** — Legal name of the merged town, 1939–1949, confirmed by the 1939 Polish official gazette; Wierzbnik alone denotes its older core.
- **Wierzbnik-Starachowice** — Reversed historical form found in regional accounts; not the legal compound adopted in 1939.

## French name

**Starachowice** — Same current Polish spelling as in English; no separate French exonym is selected.

Other forms in use:

- **Starachowice-Wierzbnik** — Former legal name of the merged town, 1939–1949; retained when French historical writing quotes Polish records.

## About

Starachowice is an industrial town on the Kamienna in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. Ironworking and later vehicle manufacturing are central to its history.

## Notes

Wierzbnik is now a district, so its earlier standalone name is not treated as a synonym for the whole modern town.
