Radom Governorate was an administrative-territorial unit (guberniya) of Congress Poland of the Russian Empire.
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.
