History

Nowogródek District was established as the district of Second Polish Republic on 20 December 1920. It was formed from the eastern part of Wilno District, that was not given to Lithuania, northwestern part of Brześć District and a small portion of western Mińsk District. It replaced the administration of the Provisional Administration of Front-line and Phase Territories in the region. The region was governed by the Chief of District, a public official, who was a representative of the Council of Ministers, responsible for the implementation of the laws as well as superior to local administration offices.[http://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocDetails.xsp?id=WDU19201150760 Dz.U. z 1920 r. nr 115, poz. 760]

From Wilno District were included eight counties: Brasław (excluding six municipalities incorporated into Latvia in June 1920), Duniłowicze (inclucing town of Dokshytsy and Gmina Dokszyce from Mińsk District), Dzisna, Grodno, Lida, Nowogródek, Wilejka (excluding southeaster borderlands) and Wołożyn.

From Brześć District were included 4 counties: Baranowicze, Nieśwież (inclucing Hrycewicze and Teladowicze municipalities from Mińsk District), Słonim and Wołkowysk.

From Mińsk District was included Stołpce County.

On 14 August 1921, counties of Grodno and Wołkowysk were incorporated into freshly established Białystok Voivodeship.[http://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocDetails.xsp?id=WDU19190650395 Dz.U. z 1919 r. nr 65, poz. 395] On 19 February 1921, the district was reformed into Nowogródek Voivodeship. Additionally, it was stated that the border between the voivodeship and potential Wilno Voivodeship, that would be eventually formed from Wilno Land, would be agreed upon later.[http://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocDetails.xsp?id=WDU19220260213 Dz.U. z 1922 r. nr 26, poz. 213][http://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocDetails.xsp?id=WDU19260060029 Dz.U. z 1926 r. nr 6, poz. 29.][http://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocDetails.xsp?id=WDU19210160093 Dz.U. z 1921 r. nr 16, poz. 93]
