The voivodeship was established on January 1, 1999, out of the former voivodeships of Gdańsk, Elbląg and Słupsk, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1997. It is bordered by West Pomeranian Voivodeship to the west, Greater Poland and Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeships to the south, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship to the east, and the Baltic Sea to the north. It also shares a short land border with Russia (Kaliningrad Oblast ), on the Vistula Spit . The voivodeship comprises most of Pomerelia (the easternmost part of historical Pomerania), as well as an area east of the Vistula River. The western part of the province, around Słupsk , belonged historically to Farther Pomerania. The central parts of the province belong to Pomerelia , including Kashubia , named after the Kashubian minority. The eastern bank of the Vistula, nowadays called Powiśle (Vistula Plains), belongs to the historical region of Prussia.
The province is one of rich cultural heritage. The Tricity urban area, consisting of Gdańsk , Gdynia and Sopot , is one of the main cultural, commercial and educational centres of Poland. Gdańsk and Gdynia are two of the major Polish seaports, the first erected by Mieszko I of Poland in the Middle Ages, the latter built in the interwar period. Amongst the most recognisable landmarks of the region are the historic city centre of Gdańsk filled with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces, the Museum of the National Anthem in Będomin , located at the birthplace of Józef Wybicki , poet and politician, author of the national anthem of Poland, the largest medieval churches of Poland (the St. Mary's Church in Gdańsk and the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in Pelplin ) and the Malbork Castle . The voivodeship also includes the narrow Hel Peninsula and the Polish half of the Vistula Spit. Other tourist destinations include Wejherowo , Sopot , Jurata , Łeba , Władysławowo , Puck , Krynica Morska , Ustka , Jastarnia , Kuźnica , Bytów and many fishing ports, lighthouses, and boats.
The name Pomerania derives from the Slavic po more , meaning "by the sea" or "on the sea".[3]
