Where is the most famous mayor in the country? It's of course - Wąchock! This respectable position has even received a monument. The monument is located near the Cistercian Abbey, right under the windows of the Police building. The initiator of the creation of the monument was Feliks Januchta - president of the Association of Mayors of the Kielce Region. Sławomir Micek, an artist from Kielce, was the contractor for the project. The ceremonial unveiling of the bronze monument took place on June 28, 2003. On the plinth there is an inscription: "Sołtys on the homestead equal to the voivode". The figure, on the other hand, shows the mayor sitting on a stone with his hat slightly tilted. He rests his right hand on a wooden cart wheel, while in his left hand he holds a mobile phone to his ear. The first gadget did not end up on the monument by accident. The circle refers to one of the jokes about the method of electing the mayor in Wąchock. Well: "the wheel from the wagon is released from the highest hill, and whose cottage it hits - he becomes the mayor". It is worth mentioning that Wąchock is currently managed by the mayor. The city itself has about 2,800 inhabitants and is situated on the Kamienna River.

Mayor of Wąchocka - a character from jokes about Wąchock. A monument was erected in his honor on June 28, 2003. The president of the Kielce Land Association was the originator of the erection of a monument to the village leader in Wąchock. The idea was accepted and the monument was placed in front of the Police and Post Office building. In 1994 Wąchock regained municipal rights and the office of the commune head was replaced with the office of the mayor. The Society of Wąchock's Friends came up with the figure of the honorary mayor of Wąchock, who has been traditionally elected since that year.
