In 1999, the boundaries of the voivodeships (Polish: Wojewodztwo, similar to Province) were redrawn and renamed as shown on the map below. These are the same boundaries that remain in place today.

Poland is subdivided administratively as follows:  
        voivodeship - highest level administrative subdivision, equivalent to a Province in other countries.  
        powiat - similar to districts or counties.  
        gminas - communities or municipalities. There are 3 types of gminas:  
                   urban gmina - simply one larger town or city
                   urban-rural gmina - one or more smaller towns combined with surrounding villages and countryside  
                   rural gmina - one or more small villages and surrounding countryside.
