Grybów is a town in the Nowy Sącz County, in Lesser Poland Voivodeship of Poland, with 12,409 inhabitants (2005). It is located in the heartland of the Doły Jasielsko Sanockie (Doły Pits), and its average altitude is 370 metres above sea level, although there are some hills located within the confines of the city, Grybów has the steepest town square in medieval Europe.
== History == ===Middle Ages to 18th century=== The history of Grybów dates back to the Middle Ages, when the early settlement belonged to the Castellan of Biecz, under King Casimir III the Great of the Piast dynasty. Following the destruction caused by the Mongol invasion, a new town charter modeled on the Magdeburg law was issued by Casimir on 15 May 1340 to Hanko Bogacz, a local burgher. The new town centre was erected on a hill at the site of former Biała village. The new town attracted settlers from Silesia and Saxony (see Walddeutsche), who called the town Grynberg.
