The Podlaskie Voivodeship was formed in 1513 by Sigismund I the Old^{citation needed} as a voivodeship in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, from a split off part of the Trakai Voivodeship.

With Lithuania's union with the Kingdom of Poland in 1569 and formation of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the voivodeship was transferred to the Polish Crown.

The governor of the Podlaskie Voivodeship was first located in Bielsk Podlaski, but later moved to Drohiczyn.

Voivodes included Jan Wodyński (1613–1616), Andrzej Chądzyński (1625–1633), Paweł Szczawinski (February 1633–1634), and Stanisław Niemira (1634–1646/1648).
