Kety is located 34 miles (55km) south of Krakow.
The town of Kety is located in the southwestern part of Poland, in the foothills at the northern side of the Carpathian Mountains known as the Beskids (Beskidy Zywiecki). Founded in 1277, Kety was acquired by the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in the first partition of Poland in 1772. In 1900, it had a population of 5,479 people. By 1960, it had grown to 6,581. Estimates for 1993 give the population at 19,600. Kety is home to a woolen manufacturer and a major industrial plant that trades its stock publicly on the stock market. There is even a large supermarket with an in-store ATM machine. Grampa would never recognize the place!
Kety even has it's own official home page.
