From January to July 1807 the Department was known as the Białystok Department (Departament Białostocki), with its capital at Białystok. However, after the Treaties of Tilsit, the Russian Empire agreed to the creation of the Duchy of Warsaw; but in exchange the Department ceded four counties: Białostocki, Bielski, Sokólski, and Drohicki. Thus the Department's capital had to be moved, and its name was accordingly changed to that of the new capital, Łomża.

After 1815 most of the Łomża Department's territory became part of Augustów Province. In 1867 it was reconstituted as the Łomża Governorate.

It was divided into 7 counties:

  • Marijampolė County
  • Tykociń County
  • Wigierski-Sejny County (seat in Sejny)

gollark: Oh, plus you have the `if err != nil` boilerplate.
gollark: You just can't define your own.
gollark: Go kind of has generics! It has those generic types built in!
gollark: Another issue of Go: the divide between "smart people" (compiler writers) and users, who are not worthy of the generics.
