Halych Land


Halych Land (Ukrainian: Галицька земля, Polish: ziemia halicka) was an administrative unit (ziemia) of the Kingdom of Poland, which existed from 1340 until 1772. Its capital was at the town of Halych, and local sejmiks at first took place at Sudova Vyshnia (Polish: Sądowa Wisznia). In 1564 they were moved to Halych.

Halicz Land belonged to Ruthenian Voivodeship, but retained its own regulations, and was itself divided into three counties: Halych County, Terebovlia County and Kolomyja County. Each county had its own starosta, and each selected two envoys to the Polish Crown Tribunal. In 1677, Halicz Land had 38 towns and 565 villages. Apart from seats of counties, the starostas also resided at Butsniv, Tlumach, Rohatyn, Kalush, Yabluniv, Sniatyn, Solotvyn, Krasnopol and Mogilno.
