Radom Governorate[a] was an administrative-territorial unit (guberniya) of Congress Poland of the Russian Empire.

History

[edit]

It was created in 1844 from the merger of the Sandomierz Governorate with Kielce Governorate. Its capital was in Radom (previously a capital of the Sandomierz Governorate).

It was divided into 8 powiats: Kielce, Miechów, Olkusz, Opatów, Opoczno, Radom and Sandomierz.

In 1866 the Kielce Governorate was once again made an independent entity, and thus split off from the Radom Governorate.

Language

[edit]
  • By the Imperial census of 1897.[2] In bold are languages spoken by more people than the state language.
