Szczecin County was established on 29 May 1946, and was located within the
District of the Western Pomerania, that was under the administration of the Provisional Government of National Unity.[2][3][4] It was formed from the former districts of Randow and Ueckermünde that belonged to the Nazi Germany, and the Veletian County.[2] The District of the Western Pomerania was disestablished on 28 June 1946, and replaced by the Szczecin Voivodeship.[5] In 1946, it had 11 758 inhabitants,[6] and an area of 402 km².[7]
It remained under the control of the Provisional Government until
city county instead.[2][1] The city was chosen as the seat for the county, due to the existence the Enclave of Police from 1945 to 1946, which slowed the development of the town of Police, that would otherwise had been chosen for the seat instead.[1] In 1999, Police County
was established within the same borders as the former Szczecin County.
