History

It was created in 1844 from the merger of the Sandomierz Governorate with Kielce Governorate. Its capital was in Radom (previously a capital of the Sandomierz Governorate).

It was divided into 8 powiats: Kielce, Miechów, Olkusz, Opatów, Opoczno, Radom and Sandomierz.

In 1866 the Kielce Governorate was once again made an independent entity, and thus split off from the Radom Governorate.

gollark: I'm not sure about "most", but definitely quite a lot. They have some sort of weird exclusivity thing going on, which I don't like much (not as an author, it just isn't very good for the market).
