In 1975 Myszków became part of Częstochowa Voivodeship, and in 1983 the town expanded, when the villages of Potasznia, Mrzygłód, Mrzygłódka, Nierada, Krwciwilk, Ręby, Łabry and Smudzówka were annexed.

As a result, currently Myszków covers a large area – it is the 139th most populated town of Poland, but the 50th in terms of territory.

Myszków is characteristic for its settlement type of architecture, which is the result of mergers of numerous villages into its borders.

Myszków is informally divided into 22 administrative districts (dzielnica) or boroughs: Among points of interest are the 19th-century rail station, the Palace of August Schmelzer (1880s), and neogothic Church of St. Stanislaus (1908–1936).
