Szczecin Voivodeship (1946–1975)

The Szczecin Voivodeship[lower-alpha 1] was a voivodeship (province) with capital in Szczecin, that was centered on the Farther Pomerania. It existed from 1946 to 1975. Until 19 February 1947 it was part of the Republic of Poland, which then was replaced by the Polish People's Republic. It was established on 28 June 1946, when it replaced the District of the Western Pomerania.[1] On 6 July 1950, its eastern half was incorporated into then-established Koszalin Voivodeship,[2] and the voivodeship ceased to exist on 31 May 1975, when it was replaced by then-established Szczecin and Gorzów Voivodeships.[3]
