Low Beskids

The Low Beskids (Slovak: Nízke Beskydy) or Central Beskids (Polish: Beskidy Środkowe; Czech: Centrální Beskydy; Ukrainian: Центральні Бескиди) are a mountain range in southeastern Poland and northeastern Slovakia.

It is a hilly region, encompassing the Prešov Region, Sanok County and Jasło County, and covering the area between Busov, Ondavská vrchovina, Laborecká vrchovina, Beskydské predhorie in Slovakia, and Beskid Sądecki, Pogórze Bukowskie and Bieszczady near the river Wisłoka, Wisłok and Osława in Poland.

They were forcibly removed in a Polonization plan agreed between the Soviet Union and the Polish communist government.

The Slavic forefathers of the Slovaks gradually moved to the basin of Humenné and Bardejov during the great migration of peoples, starting in the 5th century.

An intensive and organized settlement of this area started as late as in the middle of the 13th century, after the Mongol raids.
