Olchowce is a district of Sanok, located along National Road 28. Once an independent village, it was incorporated into Sanok on 1 November 1972.
== History == Olchowce was first documented on 18 August 1444, when King Władysław III of Poland, also King of Hungary, granted Piotr Czeszyk of Rytarowce an empty lan in the royal village of Olchowce, located in the Sanok Land. This land, previously cultivated by the Sanok starosta for the castle's needs, was occupied by peasants Subal and Szymko. Olchowce likely served as a royal village supporting the Sanok castle. By 1699, it was referred to as "Posada Olchowska", a term still used informally today.
