- Grójec is widely considered the capital of the largest apple orchard concentration in Europe, often referred to as the 'World's Apple Orchard.'
- The town received its city rights as early as 1419, granted by Siemowit IV, Duke of Masovia.
- Due to the intense concentration of fruit farming, the city hosts specialized regional festivals celebrating the harvest, which are central to the local economy and culture.
- The town's geographical position on the edge of the Rawa Upland gives it a unique undulating landscape that differs from the surrounding flat plains of central Poland.
