== Location == The Oder marked the borders of the Neumark in the west and south; in the north it bordered [[Pomerania]], and in the east [[Greater Poland]] until the [[Partitions of Poland]] in the late 18th century. From the 1772 [[First Partition of Poland]] it bordered the Prussian [[Netze District]] in the east, which had largely been carved out of the northern part of Greater Poland. After the 1793 [[Second Partition of Poland]] the remainder of Greater Poland became part of the Province of [[South Prussia]]. [[Treaties of Tilsit|In 1807]] South Prussia and the southern part of the Netze District (among other areas) became part of the Napoleonic [[Duchy of Warsaw]], while the northern part of the Netze District was merged into the [[Province of West Prussia]]; the Neumark shared borders with both. After 1815 ([[Congress of Vienna]]) the Neumark was dissolved, largely becoming part of {{lang|de|[[Regierungsbezirk Frankfurt]]}} of the [[Province of Brandenburg]]. Most of the eastern border of the Neumark became that of Brandenburg/Frankfurt with West Prussia ([[Province of Prussia]] 1829–1878) and the [[Grand Duchy of Posen]] ([[Province of Posen]] from 1848). The [[Warta]] and [[Noteć]] Rivers and their swamp regions dominated the landscape of the region. At the time of the Neumark's greatest territorial extent (at the end of the 17th century), the region included the following later {{lang|de|[[Districts of Prussia|Kreise]]}} (districts) and towns: === In the Brandenburgian Region of Frankfurt === {{see also|Frankfurt (region)}} * {{Interlanguage link|Arnswalde (district)|de|Kreis Arnswalde|fr|Arrondissement d'Arnswalde|pl|Powiat Arnswalde|lt=Arnswalde}} (1818–1945; from 1938 part of Pomeranian [[Posen-West Prussia (region)|Region of Posen-West Prussia]]), based in [[Drawno|Neuwedell]] (till 1908), thereafter in [[Choszczno|Arnswalde]] * {{Interlanguage link|Crossen (district)|de|3=Landkreis Crossen (Oder)|lt=Crossen (Oder)}} (1818–1945), based in [[Krosno Odrzańskie|Crossen upon Oder]] * [[Landkreis Friedeberg Nm.|Friedeberg]] (1816–1945; from 1938 part of Pomeranian Region of Posen-West Prussia), based in [[Strzelce Krajeńskie|Friedeberg in the New March]] * {{Interlanguage link|Königsberg/Neumark (district)|de|3=Landkreis Königsberg Nm.|lt=Königsberg (New March)}} (1816–15 March 1946, remainder west of the Oder merged into {{Interlanguage link|Angermünde (district)|de|3=Landkreis Angermünde|lt=Angermünde}}, {{Interlanguage link|Lebus (district)|de|3=Landkreis Lebus|lt=Lebus}} and {{Interlanguage link|Oberbarnim (district)|de|3=Landkreis Oberbarnim|lt=Oberbarnim districts}}), based in [[Chojna|Königsberg in the New March]] * {{Interlanguage link|Landsberg/Warthe (district)|de|3=Landkreis Landsberg (Warthe)|lt=Landsberg (Warthe)}} (1818–1945), based in [[Gorzów Wielkopolski|Landsberg upon Warthe]] * {{Interlanguage link|Soldin (district)|de|3=Landkreis Soldin|lt=Soldin}} (1818–1945), based in [[Myślibórz|Soldin]] * {{Interlanguage link|Sternberg (district)|de|3=Kreis Sternberg (Brandenburg)|lt=Sternberg}}, (1816–1873; partitioned into [[Oststernberg district|Oststernberg]] and {{Interlanguage link|Weststernberg|de|3=Landkreis Weststernberg}}), based in [[Sulęcin|Zielenzig]] (till 1852), thereafter in [[Ośno Lubuskie|Drossen]] === In the Pomeranian Region of Köslin === {{see also|Köslin (region)}} * {{Interlanguage link|Dramburg (district)|de|3=Landkreis Dramburg|lt=Dramburg}} (1816–1945; from 1938 part of Pomeranian Region of Posen-West Prussia), based in [[Drawsko Pomorskie|Dramburg]] * {{Interlanguage link|Schivelbein (district)|de|3=Kreis Schivelbein|lt=Schivelbein}} (1816–1945), based in [[Świdwin|Schivelbein]]
