Suwałki Governorate
In 1815 the Suwałki Region became part of Congress Poland, a state which was tied by personal union to Russia and absorbed by the Russian Empire in the aftermath of the November Uprising. The Suwałki Governorate, according to a Russian census conducted during the 1880s, was majority (about 58%) Lithuanian. Most of its territory is now part of Lithuania, with only three uyezds (Augustów, Suwałki, and Sejny) partially located in Poland.
