History

It was created in 1837 from the Sandomierz Voivodeship, and had the same borders and capital ( Radom) as the voivodeship. Its lower levels of administration were also mostly unchanged, although renamed from obwóds to powiats. Reform of 1844 merged the governorate with Kielce Governorate, creating a new entity, the Radom Governorate.
