Brest Litovsk Voivodeship

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