Its seat is the village of Konopnica, which lies approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of the regional capital Lublin.

When driving from the town you can see the changes on the landscape from an urban agglomeration, through estates of single-family houses and, finally, to the typically Polish countryside of golden fields and green meadows.

In this part of the borough can be found the highest point in the Lublin, at a height of 252 m above sea level, and a network of picturesque loess ravines.

The flat quiet scenery of large fields and meadows reveals the most distant corners of the borough.

The first reports about the place are from 1342 - Konopnica was at that time a royal village and its today is reflected in the borough's coat of arms.
