Rzeszów (/ˈʒɛʃuːf/,Polish: [ˈʐɛʂuf]; Ukrainian: Ряшiв, Ŕašiv; German: Resche (antiquated), Latin: Resovia; Yiddish: ריישע, rayshe) is the biggest city in southeastern Poland, with a population of 187,208 in 2016. It is located on both sides of the Wisłok in the heartland of the Sandomierska Valley. The city, which was granted a town charter in 1354, has been the capital of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship since 1999, and is also the seat of Rzeszów County.
Rzeszów is served by an international airport, is a member of Eurocities, and is home to a number of higher education schools and foreign consulates.
In the area of Rzeszów, the first humans appeared in the late Paleolithic Age; archeologists have excavated a tool made in that period at site Rzeszów 25. In the mid-6th century BC, the first farmers came to the area of the city, most likely through the Moravian Gate. Later on, Rzeszów was a settlement of the Lusatian culture, which was followed by the Przeworsk culture.
