- Nowogródek Voivodeship (1507–1795)
-
Nowogródek Voivodeship (Polish: województwo nowogródzkie, Belarusian: Навагрудзкае ваяводзтва, Latin: Palatinatus Novogrodensis) was a unit of administrative division of Grand Duchy of Lithuania (from 1507) and of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (from 1569) with the capital in the town of Nowogródek (now Belarus).
It was divided into three powiats (Nowogródek, Wołkowysk, and Słonim) and well as the Duchy of Słuck. It had two senators, two deputies for Sejm and two deputies for the Lithuanian Tribunal. Nowogródek Voivodeship ceased to exist along with the sovereign state of Poland following the three military Partitions of Poland perpetrated by the neighboring empires towards the end of 18th century.[1]
