history
The voivodeship was formed in 1566 from the Podlasie Voivodeship (or Trokai ) (to Powiat Brześć ) and from the areas of the former principalities of Pinsk , Turow , Kobrin , Dawid-Gorodok and Dubrowiza (to Powiat Pińsk ).
In 1791 the new additional Powiat Kobryń and Powiat Pińsk Zarzeche (main town Plotnica ) were formed and came to Poland. In 1792 the latter was renamed Powiat Zapynsky and the main town was moved to Stolin .
In 1793 most of the eastern part of the voivodeship came to Russia in the Minsk governorate after the second partition of Poland . In 1795 the voivodeship was dissolved and became part of the Slonim governorate .
In 1790, 301,188 people lived in an area of 40,600 km²
