Historical information on the province

Nizhny Novgorod province- an administrative-territorial formation with a center in Nizhny Novgorod, separated from the Kazan province according to the regional reform of Peter I (1714-1719). During the years of Soviet power, during the economic zoning of the USSR, it was transformed first into the Nizhny Novgorod Territory (by resolution of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of January 14, 1929), and then into the Gorky Region (1937).

Story

After Nizhny Novgorod finally became under the control of the Moscow state in the middle of the 15th century, the management of the territories of nearby lands took place on the basis of localism. The adjacent territories form the Nizhny Novgorod district, bordering the Kurmysh, Arzamas, Murom, Balakhninsky, Gorokhovets, Suzdal, and Yuryev districts.

By the end of the 16th century, camps were formed from the settlements of the Nizhny Novgorod region - collections of possessions of different types (palaces, landowners, monasteries) without any single administrative structure

Berezopolsky Stan (Beryozovoe Pole, Berezopolye) - the most populated territories located near Nizhny Novgorod in the interfluve of the Oka, Volga, Kudma and Kishma. On the territory of the camp there was a “well-formed structural unit” - the village of Bogorodskoye “with villages and hamlets”, which in 1615 was granted by the Tsar to Kuzma Minin and his family for organizing the Nizhny Novgorod militia.

The Zakudemsky camp was located east of Berezopolye, being for Nizhny Novgorod “beyond the Kudma River,” which is where its name came from. The successful settlement of the territories was facilitated by the founding of the Makaryev-Zheltovodsky Monastery at the mouth of the Kerzhenets River, which became one of the powerful Nizhny Novgorod feudal lords in the 17th century.

Strelitsky Stan (Strelitsa) - territories on the right bank of the Volga at the mouth of the Oka, directly opposite Nizhny Novgorod. The camp was formed only in the 17th century, absorbing the lands of the Strelitz volost and the Seima beekeepers.

In addition to the camps, the territories belonging to the palace possessions were clearly distinguished: palace villages with the villages surrounding them, villages from the “Lukinskaya plow” with the center in the village of Lukino, the Posopnoye village of Slobodskoye, associations of beekeepers and Mordovian villages.

During the 17th century, some volosts came under Nizhny Novgorod subordination from neighboring counties. Thus, from the Kurmysh district, Lyskovskaya and Murashkinskaya proprietary volosts were added, which passed to the boyar Boris Ivanovich Morozov. By that time, the population of the villages of Lyskovo and Murashkino was tens of times greater than the population of Kurmysh. Reverse processes also took place. So part of the settlements of the Tolokontsevskaya volost passed to the state Zauzolskaya volost of the Balakhninsky district.

In the course of the development of noble land ownership, almost all populated areas of palace volosts, Mordovian settlements and beekeepers passed into the possession of feudal lords. By the middle of the 17th century, the largest possessions of feudal lords in the Russian state (Morozovs, Cherkasskys, Vorotynskys, Prozorovskys) were concentrated in the territories of the Nizhny Novgorod district.

In 1682, localism was abolished, and the main administration was carried out with the help of governors. Until the beginning of the 18th century, P. M. Apraksin, G. G. Pushkin, Yu. A. Sitsky, A. Yu. Sitsky, S. L. Streshnev, Yu. P. Trubetskoy, P. V. Sheremetev were mentioned among the Nizhny Novgorod governors.

Education of the province

During the provincial division of 1708, carried out in the course of the regional reforms of Peter I, Nizhny Novgorod was included in the Kazan province. In January 1714, the northwestern part of its territory was allocated to the Nizhny Novgorod province. In addition to Nizhny Novgorod, the province included the cities of Alatyr, Arzamas, Balakhna, Vasilsursk, Gorokhovets, Kurmysh, Yuryevets, Yadrin with adjacent territories. In 1717, the province was abolished, the territories returned to the Kazan province, but two years later, by decree of Peter I of May 29, 1719, the province was recreated again.

During the administrative reform of Catherine II in 1778, the territories of the province first became part of the Ryazan governorship, and in 1779 the Nizhny Novgorod governorship was established, which included the old Nizhny Novgorod governorate, as well as parts of the Ryazan and Volodymyr (Vladimir) governorships and part of the Kazan province. Under Paul I, the reverse renaming took place: governorships were renamed into provinces.

In October 1797, the size of the Nizhny Novgorod province was increased due to the territories received during the division of the Penza province. After the accession of Alexander I to the throne on September 9, 1801, the Penza province was restored to its previous extent. In connection with the zemstvo reform, in 1865, the institution of local government, the zemstvo, was introduced in the Nizhny Novgorod province.

The Nizhny Novgorod province was established in 1714 during the administrative reform of Peter the Great in the territories included in 1708 in the Kazan province (northwest of this province) with the cities of Alatyr, Arzamas, Balakhna, Vasilsursk, Gorokhovets, Kurmysh, Yuryevets, Yadrin and their surrounding lands. However, in 1717, the Nizhny Novgorod province was abolished, and its lands were again included in the Kazan province. In 1719, the Nizhny Novgorod province was restored as part of 3 provinces (Alatyr, Arzamas, Nizhny Novgorod) and 7 cities. In 1779, under Catherine II, the Novgorod governorship was established, which included the entire territory of the former Nizhny Novgorod province, as well as part of the lands that were previously under the administrative subordination of the provinces of Ryazan, Vladimir, and Kazan.

Economic notes to the General Survey of the Nizhny Novgorod Province

Under Paul the First in 1796, as a result of reorganization, the Nizhny Novgorod governorship began to be called a province. At the same time, the counties of Knyagininsky, Makaryevsky, Perevozsky, Pochinkovsky (the last two were not subsequently restored), and Sergachsky were abolished. In 1797, the Nizhny Novgorod province included lands from the Penza province, abolished at the same time. The last changes in the administrative boundaries of the Nizhny Novgorod province and its composition took place during the reign of Alexander the First (in September 1801), when the lands that previously belonged to the Penza province (Krasnoslobodskaya district), which at that time were restored to their previous borders, were excluded from the province. As part of the Nizhny Novgorod province itself, the districts of Knyagininsky, Makaryevsky, and Sergachsky were simultaneously restored. Throughout the subsequent pre-revolutionary period of the history of the Nizhny Novgorod province, its borders and the composition of the districts did not change.
