An administrative-territorial unit of the Russian Empire and the RSFSR that existed in 1714-1929. Provincial town - 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.
The history of the formation of the Nizhny Novgorod province
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 again, but two years later, by the decree of Peter I of May 29, 1719, the Nizhny Novgorod province was again recreated.
In the course of 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 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.
When the Nizhny Novgorod governorship was formed in 1779, it was divided into 13 counties. In 1796, when the governorship became a province, the Knyagininsky, Makaryevsky, Pochinkovsky, Pyanskoperevozsky and Sergachsky districts were abolished. In 1804, the Knyagininsky, Makarievsky and Sergachsky districts were restored. As a result, until 1917, the Nizhny Novgorod province included 11 counties:
| № | County | County town | Area, versts | Population (1897), people |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ardatovsky | Ardatov (3546 people) | 5288,0 | 141 625 |
| 2 | Arzamas | Arzamas (10 592 people) | 3307,1 | 138 785 |
| 3 | Balakhninsky | Balakhna (5120 people) | 3688,6 | 141 694 |
| 4 | Vasilsursky | Vasilsursk (3799 people) | 3365,9 | 127 333 |
| 5 | Gorbatovsky | Gorbatov (4604 people) | 3190,1 | 134 160 |
| 6 | Knyagininsky | Knyaginin (2737 people) | 2595,5 | 106 191 |
| 7 | Lukoyanovskiy | Lukoyanov (2117 people) | 5127,5 | 193 454 |
| 8 | Makarievsky | Makariev (1560 people) | 6568,2 | 108 994 |
| 9 | Nizhny Novgorod | Nizhny Novgorod (90,053 people) | 3208,2 | 222 033 |
| 10 | Semyonovsky | Semyonov (3752 people) | 5889,2 | 111 388 |
| 11 | Sergachsky | Sergach (4530 people) | 2808,4 | 159 117 |
After the 1917 revolution, the composition of the Nizhny Novgorod province underwent significant changes.
- 1918 - Gorbatovsky district was renamed into Pavlovsky. Resurrection district was formed.
- 1920 - Makarievsky district was renamed into Lyskovsky.
- 1921 - Balakhninsky district was renamed into Gorodetsky. Vyksa, Pochinkovskiy and Sormovskiy 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 Workers' District was formed.
- 1923 - Abolished Ardatovsky, Varnavinsky, Vasilsursky, Voskresensky, Knyagininsky, Kurmyshsky and Pochinkovsky districts. Krasnobakovsky district was formed.
- 1924 - four volosts were transferred to the Mari Autonomous Region, one volost - to the Severo-Dvinskaya Governorate. The Balakhninsky and Rastyapinsky workers' districts were formed. Sormovskiy uyezd was transformed into a workers' district.
Thus, in 1926, the Nizhny Novgorod province included 11 counties and 4 districts.

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). During the years of 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.
By the end of the 16th century, camps were formed from the settlements of the Nizhny Novgorod Territory - a set of possessions of a different nature (palace, owner, monastery) without any single administrative structure
Berezopolskiy Stan (Berezovoe Pole, Berezopolye) - the most populated territories located near Nizhny Novgorod in the interfluves 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 the 17th 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. By the middle of the 17th century, the largest holdings of feudal lords (Morozovs, Cherkassky, Vorotynsky, Prozorovsky) were concentrated in the territories of the Nizhny Novgorod district.
In 1682, parochialism was abolished, 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, and P. V. Sheremetev were mentioned among the governors of Nizhny Novgorod.
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.
Geography

Site visitors have a unique opportunity to see general survey plan of Vasilsurskiy (Vasilskiy) district Nizhny Novgorod province at the end of the 18th century with reference to the modern map of the area. General land surveying in the Russian Empire began in 1765 and lasted until the middle of the 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 Russia since antiquity. Before Peter I, the description of land boundaries (borders) was drawn up mainly in verbal form in the form of special voluminous documents - scribes. In the 18th century, scribal description gave way to geodesic description. In 1723, when surveying the Ingermanland province, surveyors were instructed to draw up a special land map for each dacha (property).
Under Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, they started talking about the need for widespread geometric surveying according to the established rules. In 1754, the first instruction for general land surveying was approved. However, the order of boundary cases 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 in the reign of Catherine II. In 1765, she established the Commission on State Land Survey, whose work led to important results.
The results of the land surveying were the plans for the general land surveying (GPM) of the counties of 35 provinces of the Russian Empire. The PGM for each county usually consisted of several hand-drawn parts. The scale of such maps was 1–2 versts per inch (2.54 cm). As a result, the smallest geographic objects were entered on them. It should be added that an economic note was compiled for each SGM, containing the demographic, economic and natural characteristics of the described land dachas (holdings).
The Vasilsur district of the Nizhny Novgorod province, and originally 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 site is a gluing of two of them (1st and 3rd parts), which shows the territories of modern Spassky, Vorotynsky (without the Trans-Volga part) and Lyskovsky (east of the right-bank part) districts of the Nizhny Novgorod region. The territory of the Spassky District is mainly represented by the whole, with the exception of the villages of Bronsky Vatras and Klyuchishchi (south-western corner of the map). At the time of the compilation of the PGM of the Vasilsur district, they were part of the Knyagininsky district. However, these villages are no longer available on the Knyagininsky Uyezd PGM available on the Internet. The map is snapped to coordinates and superimposed on modern Google maps. Some inaccuracies in the binding are caused both by the absence of landmarks with known coordinates that have survived to this day, and by obvious errors (imperfection) of the then topographic survey. ( Sometimes the PGM may be temporarily unavailable.)
The economic note to the PGM of the Vasilsur district can be viewed on the website Presidential Library... The numbers of the descriptions of villages and other settlements assigned to them correspond to the red numbers on the map.
