Netze District
The Netze District or District of the Netze (Template:Lang-de; Template:Lang-pl) was a territory in the Kingdom of Prussia from 1772 to 1793. It included the urban centers of Bydgoszcz (Template:Lang-de), Inowrocław (Inowrazlaw), and Piła (Schneidemühl) and was given its name for the Noteć River (Template:Lang-de) that traversed it.
Prussia seized parts of Greater Poland and Kuyavia along with most of Royal Prussia to the north from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the First Partition of Poland of 1772. Royal Prussia, with the exception of Warmia, was organized as the province of West Prussia while the adjacent areas of Greater Poland and Kuyavia along the Noteć (Netze) formed the Netze District. With the 1793 Second Partition of Poland, the remainder of Greater Poland was annexed by Prussia and the Netze District was divided between West Prussia and the new province of South Prussia.
