Kalisz Governorate[a] was an administrative-territorial unit (guberniya) of Congress Poland of the Russian Empire.

History

[edit]

It was created in 1837 from the Kalisz Voivodeship, and had the same borders and centre (Kalisz) as the voivodeship.

The Reform of 1844 merged the governorate into the larger Warsaw Governorate, until the 1867 reform which reversed those changes and recreated the Kalisz Governorate.
