Gromada Tursko Wielkie is a group consisting of several villages, constituted the lowest tier of local government, taking over the role previously played by gmina Tursko Wielkie; at a smaller scale. In communist Poland between 29 September 1954 and 31 December 1972, this assembly was introduced. Gromada was the lowest (next to osiedle) administrative division of Poland.
The Gromadzka National Council was the group's executive organ. These units were created by the Communist Polish Law, and have legal authority.
The gromada continued to function in interwar Poland (administrative division of the Second Polish Republic. Sołectwo) is a subdivision of a gmina (as an auxiliary unit of a commune) from the second world war, to the end of 1954.
