After the [[Third Partition of Poland]] (1795), Radom was part of the [[Habsburg monarchy|Austrian]] province of [[West Galicia]]. After the Polish victory in the [[Austro-Polish War]] of 1809, it was part of the Polish [[Duchy of Warsaw]], which named it capital of the [[Radom Department]]. From 1815 the city belonged to [[Russian Partition|Russian-controlled]] [[Congress Poland]], remaining a regional administrative center. In 1816–1837 it was the capital of the Sandomierz Voivodeship, whose capital, despite the name, was at Radom. In 1837–1844 it was the capital of the [[Sandomierz Governorate]], and from 1844 until the outbreak of [[World War I]], the capital of the [[Radom Governorate]]. The Polish 5th Line Infantry Regiment, which later fought against Russia in the [[November Uprising]], was stationed in Radom.<ref>Gembarzewski, p. 69</ref> The city was an important center of the November Uprising. Its obsolete and ruined fortifications were destroyed upon order of Mayor Józef Królikowski. In the early days of the [[January Uprising]], [[Marian Langiewicz]] visited Radom, preparing the rebellion. In the 19th century, Radom was one of the leading centers of the new art of [[photography]] in partitioned Poland, alongside major cities of Warsaw, [[Gdańsk]], Kraków and Wilno.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kuropatwa|first=Justyna|editor-last1=Kita|editor-first1=Jarosław|editor-last2=Korybut-Marciniak|editor-first2=Maria|year=2017|title=Życie prywatne Polaków w XIX wieku|volume=VI|language=pl|location=Łódź-Olsztyn|publisher=Wydawnictwo [[University of Łódź|Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego]]|page=101|chapter=Moda na fotografię w Gdańsku na tle ziem polskich (do lat sześćdziesiątych XIX wieku)|isbn=978-83-8088-801-2}}</ref> In 1867 a sewage system was built.

In the [[Second Polish Republic]] Radom became part of [[Kielce Voivodeship]]. In 1932 the City County of Radom was created, and the following year, its rail connection with [[Warsaw]] was completed. In the late 1930s, due to the government project known as the [[Central Industrial Area]], several new factories were built; by 1938, the population had grown to 80,000. The city was also a military garrison, serving as headquarters of the 72nd Infantry Regiment.
