Lubusz Voivodship

The Lubusz Voivodship (in Polish województwo lubuskie) is an administrative and local government region or voivodship in the western part of Poland. It was created on 1 January 1999 out of the former Gorzów Wielkopolski and Zielona Góra voivodships as a result of the Local Government Reorganization Act of 1998. The voivodship's name recalls the region's traditional name of Lubus Land (also Lebus Land or Lubusz Land), a medieval Polish province. However, its borders include also parts of Silesia and Greater Poland.
