The term has been in use since the 14th century and is commonly translated into English as "province". The administrative divisions of Poland, Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998, which went into effect on 1 January 1999, reduced the number of voivodeships to sixteen. These 16 replaced the 49 subdivisions of the Polish People's Republic, former voivodeships that had existed from 1 July 1975, and bear a greater resemblance (in territory, but not in name) to the voivodeships that existed between 1950 and 1975.

Limanowa became a township in 1565 after being granted city rights by King Sigismund II Augustus. For thirty years, the residents were not required to pay taxes to the Crown, during which time the town rapidly developed. However, its economic strength declined due to the plague and destruction caused by the Swedish invasion of 1655. While the town was constantly damaged by fire because of its wooden buildings, the fire of 1759 destroyed much of its infrastructure.
