Many people are asking about details regarding the towns and villages in Poland in 19th century. The source that might be very helpful is “Slownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego” – “Geographical Dictionary of Polish Kingdom” published in 1880. 15 Volumes of this Dictionary are availbale on line. This source is incredible. You can find information like the number of Roman Catholics, Greek Catholic or Jewish people in a town of population of a few hundred people. There is a description of borders, the distances to major cities. There is also information about the area of cultivated land, meadows, pastures, forests etc.
In order to find a town you need to select the number of Volume (“Tom” in Polish) and then choose the page number. See this link to Volume 1
