Kalisz Voivodeship 1314–1793 (Polish: ''Województwo Kaliskie'', Latin: ''Palatinatus Calisiensis'') was an administrative unit of Poland from 1314 to the Second Partition of Poland in 1793. It was part of the Greater Polish ''Province''. Its capital was in Kalisz, and together with neighboring Poznan Voivodeship, Kalisz elected general starosta of Greater Poland. The sejmiks for the two voivodeships took place at Sroda Wielkopolska, while general sejmik for the whole Province of Greater Poland took place in Koło, at the Bernardine Abbey. The territory of the voivodeship remained unchanged from 1314 until 1768, when Gniezno Voivodeship was carved out of its northern three counties. Its original area was 15,320 km2., but after 1768 it shrank to 7,810 km2. Local starostas resided at Kalisz, Gniezno, Konin, Kcynia, Naklo, Pyzdry, and Zlotow. Kalisz Voivodeship had eight senators. These were: Archbishop of Gniezno, Voivode of Kalisz (who resided at the Kalisz Royal Castle), Castellan of Kalisz, Castellan of Gniezno, and Castellans of Lad, Naklo nad Notecia, Biechowo, and Kamiensk. Zygmunt Gloger in his monumental book Historical Geography of the Lands of Old Poland gives a detailed description of Kalisz Voivodeship: “Kalisz Voivodeship made eastern half of Greater Poland proper (...) In the testament of Boleslaw III Krzywousty, the Land of Kalisz, as part of Greater Poland, was granted to Duke Mieszko III the Old. His two grandsons, Przemysl I of Greater Poland and Boleslaw the Pious divided Greater Poland in 1247. Przemyslaw, the older brother, controlled Gniezno and Poznan, while Boleslaw ruled Kalisz (...) In the late 14th century, the Duchy of Kalisz was seized by Wladyslaw Lokietek, returning to the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland as newly established Kalisz Voivodeship. Its total area was 300 sq. miles, and the largest county was that of Kalisz (...) In the mid-16th century, Kalisz Voivodeship had 411 Roman-Catholic parishes, 88 towns and 1,869 villages. Its coat of arms was Wieniawa. Kalisz Voivodeship, together with Poznan Voivodeship had its sejmiks at Sroda Wielkopolska, where each province elected six deputies to the Sejm, and two deputies to the Greater Poland Tribunal at Piotrkow Trybunalski (...) Land court was at Kalisz, as well as town court for the counties of Kalisz, Kamiensk and Pyzdry (...) The voivodeship had eight senators, while local starostas were located in several towns, such as Kalisz, Gniezno, Pyzdry, Konin, Kcynia, Ujscie, Powidz, Odolanow, Klecko, Pobiedziska, and Kolo (...) Among historic towns of the voivodeship were Kalisz, Gniezno, Lad, Wagrowiec, Mogilno, and Trzemeszno”.
