Belostok Oblast (Russian: Белостокская область; Polish: Obwód białostocki) was an administrative-territorial unit (oblast) of the Russian Empire with its capital in Belostok (Białystok).
[2] The oblast was abolished in 1842 when it was included into Grodno Governorate.
[3] In the 19th century, some of the oblasts were administrative divisions which had a status roughly equal to that of the guberniyas; i.e., they existed independently from the guberniyas, not as their parts as it used to be the case in the 18th century.
