History

It was formed on 17 January 1920 with the establishment of the Civil Administration of the Eastern Lands, a civil authority controlled by the Second Polish Republic during the Polish–Soviet War.[1] Its seat was located in Kamianets-Podilskyi. The region was governed by the Chief of District.[2]

Upon its creation, it was subdivided into counties: Kamieniec, Płoskirów, Uszyca and Latyczów. On 15 May 1920, Starokonstantynów County was transferred from Volhynian to Podolian District.[3]

The territory was conquered in the summer of 1920 by the Ukrainian SSR.
