Bukovina District

The Bukovina District (German: Kreis Bukowina), also known as the Chernivtsi District (German: Kreis Czernowitz), was an administrative-territorial unit of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria within the Habsburg monarchy in Bukovina, annexed from Moldavia. It was first a military district from 1775 to 1786 until it was officially incorporated into Galicia and Lodomeria as its own district.
