As early as 1720, the area of Swedish Pomerania that had been ceded to Prussia was called, by contrast, Old Western Pomerania (Altvorpommern).
•
New Western Pomerania was part of the Prussian province of Pomerania and, from 1818, formed the administrative district of Stralsund, but for a time, retained a special legal status.
The name Old Western Pomerania was first used when that area of Swedish Pomerania that had been remained with Sweden after the Treaty of Stockholm, later transferred to Prussia under the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and was named New Western Pomerania.
