First Talks
First talks about creation of the new voivodeship took place on February 13, 1998 in the village of Zloty Potok. Participants were local politicians from three voivodeships - Radomskie, Kieleckie and Czestochowskie. All knew that according to the 1998 Local Government Reorganization Act, territorial organization of Poland would significantly change, with the removal of most of the voivodeships, and therefore they decided to act.
A week later, on February 20, 1998, another meeting took place. This time, there were no representatives from Radom, they were replaced by politicians from western part of the Tarnobrzeg Voivodeship, together with the city of Sandomierz (but without the cities of Tarnobrzeg and Stalowa Wola), who expressed their desire to join the proposed province.
