In 1793, during the Second Partition of Poland, the city of Danzig was incorporated into West Prussia. In 1806 southern parts of the province were moved to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. In 1817 the Che?mno Land was added from the Grand Duchy of Poznan. West and East Prussia were combined as a single province in 1824–1878. Most of West Prussia returned to Poland in 1919, and both the eastern remainder (which in the meanwhile was joined to the Prussian province of East Prussia), and the western remainder (which in the meanwhile formed Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia) in 1945.
