It was created in 1844 from the Masovia and Kalisz Governorates, and had the capital in Warsaw. In 1867 territories of the Warsaw Governorate were divided into three smaller governorates: a smaller Warsaw Governorate, Piotrków Governorate and the recreated Kalisz Governorate.
A small reform in 1893 increased the Warsaw Governorate's size with territories split from Płock and Łomża governorates.

gollark: I tried using it for stuff and I disliked it.
gollark: Haskell is obviously no, Python is quite slow and has different ecosystem problems as well as a remarkable amount of weird inconsistency, JS dependencies break after about 5 months and it's an awful language, Rust is somewhat nice but annoying compared to higher level languages, Clojure is maybe good however Lisp and also Java (well, JVM), and... that's about it?
gollark: OCaml suffers from the same sort of ecosystem problem.
gollark: Thus, I am condemned to eternal suffering and minoteaur will never be finished.
gollark: I'm actually investigating F# as a non-bad language, and while it is in fact an excellent language according to the osmarks.tk™ arbitrary language ratings™, the tooling is æææææÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆæææææÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆææÆÆÆÆæææææÆÆÆÆÆæææ (very heavyweight and annoying) and much of the ecosystem is too "enterprisey".
