Podolian Voivodeship

The Podole Voivodeship is a unit of administrative division and local government in the Kingdom of Poland, since 1434 until 1793/1795, except for the period of Ottoman occupation (1672–1699) as Podolia Eyalet.

During the Turkish occupation the regional council (sejmik) holds its sessions first in Halicz (1672-1676), and later in Lwow (1677-1698).

Together with the Bracław Voivodeship it forms the region of Podolia, which in the Kingdom of Poland is part of Lesser Poland Province of the Polish Crown.

Its capital is in Kamianets-Podilskyi, local sejmiks also take place in this city.

The seat of the starosta is at Kamieniec Podolski as well.

The voivodeship is created 1434, out of the former Duchy of Podolia, which had become part of the Kingdom of Poland in the second half of the fourteenh century.

After the second partition of Poland, it is seized by the Russian Empire, which in 1793 creates the Podolia Governorate.

Today the region belongs to Ukraine.
