Pomeranian Voivodeship (1919–1939)

The Pomeranian Voivodeship or Pomorskie Voivodeship was an administrative unit of Interwar-Poland (from 1919 to 1939). It ceased to function in September 1939, following the German and Soviet invasion of Poland. Most of the territory of Pomeranian province became part of the current Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, of which one of two capitals is the same as the interwar voivodeship's Toruń; the second one is Bydgoszcz. The name Pomerania derives from the Slavic po more, meaning "by the sea" or "on the sea".
