Kolbuszowa is a small city in south-eastern Poland, with 8,800 inhabitants.

Situated in the Subcarpathian Voivodship (since 1999), it is the capital of Kolbuszowa County. Before World War II, Kolbuszowa was mostly inhabited by Jews. During the war, German troops burned down a part of the city and about half of the Jewish population perished. After World War II, Kolbuszowa was rebuilt. New school districts were created, as well as a library and Museum of Culture.
