Wilno Land [a] was a district of Poland, with capital in Vilnius, that existed from 13 April 1922 until 20 January 1926. The territory was formed in 1922 from territories of the Republic of Central Lithuania incorporated into Poland, [ 1 ] and a 3 counties from Nowogródek Voivodeship . [ 2 ]
Wilno Voivodeship was located in the so-called Poland "B", which meant that it was still underdeveloped, apart from the city of Wilno. A large part of the population was poor, with a high level of illiteracy (in 1931, 29.1% was illiterate, with the national average of 23.1%).
Poland annexed the short-lived state on 22 March 1922. As a result, the Polish census of 20 September 1921 covered only parts of the future Wilno Voivodeship area, that is the communes of Breslauja , Duniłowicze [ pl ] , Dysna and Vileika . [ 42 ]
