The Province of Prussia (German: Provinz Preußen) was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia from 1829 to 1878. Between these years East Prussia and West Prussia were joined into a single province, after which they were again reestablished as two separate provinces. It is usually referred to with its full name order to distinguish it from the entire Kingdom of Prussia.
