Wejherowo County is a unit of territorial administration and local government (
powiat) in
Pomeranian Voivodeship, northern
Poland, on the
Baltic coast. It came into being on January 1, 1999, as a result of the
Polish local government reforms passed in 1998. Its administrative seat and largest town is
Wejherowo, which lies north-west of the regional capital
Gdansk. The county also contains the towns of
Rumia, lying east of Wejherowo, and
Reda, east of Wejherowo. Rumia, Reda and Wejherowo are contiguous, and are referred to as the
Kashubian Tricity, an allusion to the larger
Tricity area centred on Gdansk.
