Oława is a Piast dynasty town at the confluence of the Odra and Oława rivers, with documented history reaching back to 1149.

In 1842, the locomotive "Silesia" departed Wrocław and arrived in Oława — inaugurating the first railway line on present-day Polish territory. Today, Oława is a thriving industrial community with 33,087 residents, growing 6.3% since 2002, with below-national unemployment at 4.3%.
