	Powiat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A powiat (pronounced "povyat"; plural, powiaty) is the Polish third-level unit of administration, equivalent to a county, district or prefecture (NUTS-3) in some countries.
		The largest urban powiat, in terms of population and area, is the city of Warsaw.
		Powiats were abolished in 1975, in favor of a larger number of voivodships, but were reintroduced in 1999.

	PGSA - Powiat's and Wola's
		The short answer is, a powiat was much like our "county." And they will be again — the powiaty, abolished in 1975, are being restored as part of an administrative reform, effective at the beginning of 1999.
		Powiat: in [Latin] documents also districtus, regio, an administrative region encompassing a certain number of administrative units known as gmina’s.
		The most important factor, however, which gave the powiat the character of an autonomous part of the governmental organism, was the development of sejmiki [regional councils, as contrasted with the national Sejm or congress] in the 16th century.

	Central Europe Review - Polish Cities: After the Reform
		Since 1999, there have been only 16 huge voivod-ships and a powiat, that is to say that a new step in the administrative ladder has been added between gminy and voivod-ships.
		Very many smaller towns eagerly awaited the reform, as they expected their status to be raised to a rank of a powiat town, which, according to the reform's assumptions, were to be a key element in the new administration, providing people with previously absent bureaucratic services.
		However, the question of which of the 49 voivod-ship cities are to be deprived of their status, became the subject of a heated debate as not all of them were ready to give up this prestigious and lucrative position.

		Although most of the elementary school volumes (14-110) are arranged alphabetically by administrative district (powiat, plural powiaty), unless the researcher happens to know in which powiat a school was located, he/she will not know in which volume to search.
		Powiat boundaries of 1926 Poland do not coincide with present-day administrative districts.
		Although they lack precise equivalents in American usage, the Polish administrative units are translated as follows: wojewodztwo (abbreviated woj.)–province; powiat (abbreviated pow.)– district; and gmina (abbreviated gm.)–township.
