Terespol

Formed around routes leading to a crossing of the Bug River, Terespol developed into a Polish border town opposite Brest in Belarus. The Bug defines the eastern edge of the town’s wider setting and forms the frontier between Poland and Belarus here. Terespol is an important rail border point on the Warsaw–Brest route, linking Poland’s standard-gauge network with Belarus. Its present name dates from 1697 and commemorates Teresa, the wife of Józef Bogusław Słuszka, who founded the town.
