Administrative-territorial unit of the Russian Empire and the RSFSR, which existed in 1714-1929. Provincial city - Nizhny Novgorod.

The Nizhny Novgorod province bordered on the following provinces: in the west - with, in the north - with and, in the east - with and, in the south - with and.

History of the formation of the Nizhny Novgorod 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. Since 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 Nizhny Novgorod province was again recreated.

During the administrative reform of Catherine II in 1778, the territories of the Nizhny Novgorod province first became part of the Ryazan governorate, 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 governorate. 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.

When the Nizhny Novgorod governorate was formed in 1779, it was divided into 13 districts. In 1796, when the governorship became a province, the Knyagininsky, Makaryevsky, Pochinkovsky, Pyansk-Perevozsky and Sergachsky districts were abolished. In 1804, Knyagininsky, Makaryevsky and Sergachsky districts were restored. As a result, until 1917, the Nizhny Novgorod province included 11 districts:

After the revolution of 1917, the composition of the Nizhny Novgorod province underwent significant changes.

• 1918 - Gorbatovsky district was renamed Pavlovsky. Voskresensky district was formed.
• 1920 - Makaryevsky district was renamed Lyskovsky.
• 1921 - Balakhninsky district was renamed Gorodetsky. Vyksa, Pochinkovsky and Sormovsky districts were formed.
• 1922 - the following were added to the province: Varnavinsky and Vetluzhsky districts of the Kostroma province, 6 volosts of the abolished Koverninsky district of the Kostroma province; almost the entire Kurmysh district of the Simbirsk province, 4 volosts of the Tambov province. The Kanavinsky working district was formed.
• 1923 - Ardatovsky, Varnavinsky, Vasilsursky, Voskresensky, Knyaginsky, Kurmyshsky and Pochinkovsky districts were abolished. Krasnobakovsky district was formed.
• 1924 - four volosts were transferred to the Mari Autonomous Region, one volost to the North Dvina province. The Balakhninsky and Rastyapinsky working districts were formed. Sormovsky district was transformed into a working district.

Thus, in 1926, the Nizhny Novgorod province included 11 counties and 4 districts.

Site visitors have a unique opportunity to see general survey plan for Vasilsursky (Vasilsky) district Nizhny Novgorod province of the late 18th century with reference to a modern map of this area. General land surveying in the Russian Empire began in 1765 and continued until the mid-19th century. The purpose of this event was to establish the exact boundaries of land holdings of both individuals and peasant communities, cities, churches and other owners.

Land surveying has been carried out in Rus' since ancient times. Before Peter I, the description of land boundaries (borders) was drawn up mainly in verbal form in the form of special voluminous documents - scribe books. In the 18th century, scribal description gave way to geodetic description. In 1723, when surveying the Ingermanland province, surveyors were instructed to draw up a special land map for each dacha (possession).

Under Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, they started talking about the need for widespread geometric land surveying according to established rules. In 1754, the first instructions for general surveying were approved. However, the order of land surveying matters prescribed in it did not meet the requirements of the time. A comprehensive reform of the organization of land surveying and the practical implementation of such a grandiose project began only during the reign of Catherine II. In 1765, she established the Commission on State Land Surveying, whose work led to important results.

The results of the survey were plans for general surveying (GLM) of districts of 35 provinces of the Russian Empire. The PGM of each county, as a rule, consisted of several parts, drawn by hand. The scale of such maps was 1-2 versts per inch (2.54 cm). As a result, the smallest geographical objects were included on them. It should be added that for each PGM an economic note was compiled containing the demographic, economic and natural characteristics of the described land dachas (possessions).

Vasilsursky district of the Nizhny Novgorod province, and initially the Nizhny Novgorod governorship, was created in 1779. The exact dating of his PGM is unknown. The complete county plan consists of 4 parts. The map presented on the website is a gluing together of two of them (1st and 3rd parts), which shows the territories of modern Spassky, Vorotynsky (without the Trans-Volga part) and Lyskovsky (eastern right-bank part) districts of the Nizhny Novgorod region. The entire territory of the Spassky district is represented, with the exception of the villages of Bronsky Vatras and Klyuchishchi (southwestern corner of the map). At the time of drawing up the PGM of the Vasilsursky district, they were part of the Knyagininsky district. However, these villages are also no longer available on the PGM of Knyagininsky district, which is available on the Internet. The map is linked to coordinates and superimposed on modern Google maps. Some inaccuracies in the geolocation are caused both by the lack of landmarks with known coordinates that have survived to this day, and by obvious errors (imperfections) of the topographic survey of that time. ( Sometimes PGM may be temporarily unavailable.)

The economic note to the PGM of Vasilsursky district can be viewed on the website Presidential Library. The description numbers of villages and other settlements assigned to them correspond to the red numbers on the map.

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 province, 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.
