Pogorzans (; also known as Western Pogorzans and Eastern Pogorzans), are an ethnographic group of Poles that mostly live in the Central Beskidian Range of the Subcarpathian highlands.Na początku lat sześćdziesiątych XX wieku nazewnictwo to zakwestionował Franciszek Kotula. [in:] Polskie stroje ludowe. cz. 3. 2007 The Pogorzans inhabit the central and the southern half of the Beskids in Poland, including the Ciężkowickie, Strzyżowskie and Dynowskie Plateau as well as Doły Jasielsko-Sanockie, from the White River (Biała) in the west to the San River in the east.
They represent the major population group inhabiting the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, living alongside GermanTaubdeutscheEastern Pogorzans - Bachórz (Großbachersdorf), Besko, Białobrzegi (Palversee), Brzozów (Bresen), Bukowsko, Bonarówka (Bonnersdorf), Domaradz (Deutsch-Domaretz), Dynów (Dühnhof, Denow), Frysztak (Freistadt), Głowienka, Haczów (Hanshof), Harta (Harth), Dylągówka (Dillingshau), Iskrzynia, Iwonicz (Iwanitz), Jaćmierz (Jatschmirs), Jasło (Jessel), Jaśliska (Hohenstadt), Jurowce, Klimkówka, Kombornia (Kaltborn), Korczyna (Kotkenhau), Krośnie (Krossen), Królik Polski (Johannsdorf), Lalin Niemiecki, Lubatówka (Bischofswald), Łęzany, Matysówka (Mathisowka), Michałowce (Michelsdorf), Miejsce Piastowe (Peistätten), Mrzygłód (Königlich Thirau), Nowotaniec (Lobetans), Niebieszczany(Siebenwirt), Nowy Żmigród (Schmiedeburg), Odrzykoń (Ehrenberg), Pielnia (Pellen), Poraż (Kunzendorf), Prusiek(Prosegg), Rogi, Równe, Rymanów, (Reimannshau) Rytarowce (Rittersdorf), Sanok, Strachocina, Strzyżów, Suchodól (Diernthal), Szufnarowa (Schaffnerhau) Targowiska, Trepcza, Tułkowice (Tillkersdorf) Trześniów, Tyrawa (Salzthirau), Tyczyn (Bertoldsdorf), Wielopole (Großenfeld), Wrocenka, Wojnarówka, Wiśniowa, Zarszyn (Sarschin) Zmennica, Zymbertowa (Siebenwirth) and Rusyn people. Historically, this region formed part of Galicia.
Pogorzans are neighbours with: the to the west; and to the north; and (vale-dwellers) and Lemkos (both Rusyn subgroups) to the south.
Cultural subdivisions of the Pogorzans distinguish the western Pogorzans (the area of Gorlice, Jasło and Dukla) from the eastern Pogorzans (Strzyżów, Krosno and Brzozów). The border between those two groups lies on the west from Krosno and Strzyżów. The differences between western and eastern groups were especially seen in architecture and in clothing.
Traditional occupations of the Pogorzans included agriculture, oil-mining and the military; today these are joined by the service and petroleum industries, and by agrotourism. Polish scholars regard the Pogórzan dialect as part of the Lesser Polish dialect cluster.
