Lublin Voivodship

Lublin Voivodship (in Polish ''województwo lubelskie'\') is an administrative and local government region or voivodship in the eastern part of Poland. It was created on 1 January 1999 out of the former Lublin (2), Chelm, Zamosc, Biala Podlaska and partly Tarnobrzeg and Siedlce voivodships as a result of Local Government Reogranization Act of 1998. The voivodship's name recalls the region's traditional name and the biggest city: Lublin.

It borders with the Podlasie (Podlaskie), Msovian (Mazowieckie), Swietokrzyskie (Swietokrzyskie), Subcarpathian (Podkarpackie) voivodships and also the frontiers of Ukraine and Belarus.
