The entire area of the voivodeship was located east of the Vistula river, and its boundaries did not change from the time of its creation (1474), until its dissolution by Austrian authorities in 1795, after the third and final partition of Poland.

After the Polish victory in the Austro-Polish War of 1809, the former Lublin Voivodeship was regained by Poles and included within the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw.

Among major towns of contemporary Poland, which belonged to the voivodeship are Biłgoraj, Kraśnik, Lubartów, Leczna, Opole Lubelskie, Łuków, Parczew, Puławy, Radzyń Podlaski, Siedlce, and Świdnik.

Of the three parts of Lesser Poland proper, Lublin Voivodeship was conveniently located by three navigable rivers – the Vistula, the San, and the Wieprz.

It also had fertile soil, and a number of historical monuments".Voivodeship Governor (Wojewoda) seat: Administrative division: Main Lublin Voivodes: Neighboring voivodeships:
