Historical information on the province

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

History

After Nizhny Novgorod finally became controlled by the Moscow state in the middle of the 15th century, the territories of the nearby lands were managed on the basis of parochialism. The adjacent territories form the Nizhny Novgorod county, bordering on the Kurmysh, Arzamassky, Murom, Balakhninsky, Gorokhovetsky, Suzdal, Yurievsky counties.

TO late XVI centuries from the settlements of the Nizhny Novgorod Territory, camps are formed - a set of possessions of a different nature (palace, owner, monastery) without any single administrative structure

Berezopolsky Stan (Berezovoe 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 villages", in 1615 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 Makaryevo-Zheltovodsky Monastery at the mouth of the Kerzhenets River, which in the 17th century became one of the most powerful feudal lords of Nizhny Novgorod.

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 by XVII century, having absorbed the lands of the Strelitsa volost and the Seima bee keepers.

In addition to the mills, the territories belonging to the palace estates were well distinguished: palace villages with the surrounding villages, villages from the Lukinskaya plow with a center in the village of Lukino, the posopnoe village of Slobodskoye, beekeepers' associations and Mordovian villages.

During the 17th century, some volosts were transferred to the Nizhny Novgorod subordination from neighboring counties. So from the Kurmysh district, the Lyskov and Murashkinsky volosts are added, which passed to the boyar Boris Ivanovich Morozov. By that time, the population of the villages of Lyskovo and Murashkino exceeded the population of Kurmysh dozens of times. The reverse processes also took place. So part of the settlements of the Tolokontsevsky volost passed to the state Zauzolsky volost of the Balakhninsky district.

In the course of the development of noble land tenure, almost all settlements of palace volosts, Mordovian settlements and bee keepers passed into the possession of feudal lords. TO mid XVII centuries in the territories Nizhny Novgorod district the largest are concentrated in The Russian state possession of the feudal lords (Morozov, Cherkassky, Vorotynsky, Prozorovsky).

In 1682, parochialism was abolished, the main administration was carried out with the help of governors. Before early XVIII century among the Nizhny Novgorod governors mentioned P. M. Apraksin, G. G. Pushkin, Yu. A. Sitsky, A. Yu. Sitsky, S. L. Streshnev, Yu. P. Trubetskoy, P. V. Sheremetev.

Province formation

In the course of the provincial division of 1708, carried out in the course of the regional reforms of Peter I, Nizhny Novgorod was assigned to 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 the decree of Peter I of May 29, 1719, the province was re-established.

In the course of the administrative reform of Catherine II in 1778, the territory 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 Volodimir (Vladimir) governorates and part of the Kazan governorate. Under Paul I, the reverse renaming takes place: the governorships were renamed in the 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 to the throne of Alexander I on September 9, 1801, the Penza province was restored to its former size. In connection with the zemstvo reform in 1865, the institute of local government - zemstvo - was introduced in the Nizhny Novgorod province.
