It was created on 1 January 1999 out of the former Bialystok Voivodship, Lomza Voivodship and half of Suwalki Voivodship voivodships as a result of Local Government Reorganization Act of 1998. The voivodship's name recalls the region's traditional name of Podlasie (''Podlachia'').

Podlasie Voivodship



== Lithuanian Palenkė == Palenkė (Polexia) was Lithuanian Vojvodship until ''illegal'' occupation by poles in 1569. The main city of this province Balstogė was established by King Gediminas in aproximetly 1320. In present Polexia Vojvodship (under polish rule) lives big Lithuanian minority. User:Zivinbudas 23:10, 29 May 2005 (UTC) :As you might see from the article (you might read it some day), it's about the current unit of administrative division of Poland, created in 1999. It has little to do with Gediminas or Lithuania. User:HalibuttUser talk:Halibutt 23:19, May 29, 2005 (UTC) Read my statement to the end (or did you have a strong drink already?). User:Zivinbudas 23:33, 29 May 2005 (UTC) ::Also, Lithuanian ''Polexia'' refers to the land of Polesie (Latin name would be Transilvania, BTW), not to Podlasie (''Cissilvania'').
