Brest Litovsk Voivodeship


Brest Litovsk Voivodeship was a unit of administrative territorial division and a seat of local government in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from 1566 until the May Constitution in 1791, and from 1791 to 1795 as a voivodeship in Poland. It was constituted from Brest-Litovsk and Pinsk counties.

History

It was created from the southern part of Trakai Voivodeship in 1566. In 1791 Kobryn and Pinsk-Zarzeche counties were created. Pinsk-Zarzeche country was renamed Zapynsky and its seat was moved to Stolin. After the Second Partition of Poland, in 1793, Pinsk and Zapynsky countries became part of the Russian Empire's Minsk Governorate. The remainder of it was dissolved in 1795 and became part of Slonim Governorate.
