Chełmno Land
Pomerelia (), also referred to as Eastern Pomerania, Vistula Pomerania (, "Pomorze Nadwiślańskie"), or Gdańsk Pomerania ("Pomorze Gdańskie"), the latter term not covering the Chełmno Land, is a historical sub-region of Pomerania, in northern Poland. Pomerelia lay on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea, west of the Vistula river and east of the Łeba river. Its largest and most important city is Gdańsk. Since 1999 the region has formed the core of the Pomeranian Voivodeship. Pomerelia is traditionally divided into Kashubia, Kociewie, Tuchola Forest and Chełmno Land, with southern part located in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship and small parts in West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The region has been inhabited by ethnic Kashubians (speakers of the Kashubian language), Kociewians, Borowians and Chełminians, respectively.
