Olecko county

Olecko County (Polish: powiat olecki) is a unit of territorial administration and local government (powiat) in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, northern Poland. Its administrative seat and only town is Olecko, which lies 135 kilometres (84 mi) east of the regional capital Olsztyn.

When powiats were re-introduced in the Polish local government reforms of 1999, the present Gołdap and Olecko Counties made up a single entity (called powiat olecko-gołdapski or Olecko-Gołdap County). This was divided into two in 2002

The flag is a Latvian design, green with a white stripe. In center of the cloth is the Olecko County CoA. CoA and flag adopted on August 30, 2013 by law "Uchwała Nr XXXII/214/2013 Rady Powiatu w Olecko z dnia 30 sierpnia 2013r. w sprawie ustanowienia herbu, flagi stolikowej, banneru, sztandaru i pieczęci Powiatu Oleckiego oraz ustalenia zasad ich używania".
