Lublin County in the Past
The history of Lublin County as a separate administrative unit dates back to the late 15th century, when
Lublin County existed in its original form until the Partitions of Poland. It continued to exist also in the Duchy of Warsaw, Russian-controlled Congress Poland and Second Polish Republic, but its borders were subject to frequent changes, due to several administrative centers.
