History and Administrative Division .
Novgorod Gubernia in 1727 was carved out of Sankt Petersburg Gubernia (est. 1708 as Ingermanland G., renamed Sankt Petersburg G.
in 1710). In 1772, Pskov Gubernia was separated from Novgorod Gubernia. In 1777, Novgorod Gubernia was included in newly
created Yaroslavl Namestichestvo; in 1781 it was recreated as Novgorod Namestichestvo; in 1796 reconstituted as Novgorod
Gubernia (Wikipedia). Novgorod Gubernia bordered on Sankt Petersburg Gubernia in the northwest, on Olonets Gubernia in the northeast, on Vologda Gubernia and Yaroslavl Gubernia in the east, on Tver Gubernia in the south, on Pskov Gubernia in the southwest. Novgorod Gubernia was divided in 11 districts (Uyezds) : Byelosersk; Borovichi, Deyjansk, Kirilov, Kresttsy, Novgorod, Staraya Russa, Tikhvyn, Cherepovets, Ustyushna, Valday. The Zemstvo Laws passed in 1864 granted regional self-government on Gubernia and Uyezd level; the regional administrative bodies are refererred to as Zemstvos. The Zemstvos were abolished in the course of the October Revolution. Following the establishment of the RSFSR, Novgorod Gubernia was partitioned into Novgorod Oblast and Cherepovets Oblast, with a small strip of land in the extreme northeast being ceded to Vologda Oblast. In 1927, Novgorod Oblast was annexed into Leningrad Oblast. Population . The population in 1811 was 766,000, in 1840 709,600, in 1867 1,016,400, in 1885 1,194,100, in 1914 1,729,300 (Lahmeyer). Economy . Numerous lakes and rivers, and the canals connecting the Ladoga-Neva River System and the Volga River System are navigable. In 1883, 49.3 % of the area was covered by forest, 21.7 % swamp, 16 % pastorage, only 12.6 % farmland. Among the agricultural products, grain and potatoes dominated. Hunting, fishery and forest industries were of importance, as were mineral springs at Staraya Russa. Part of the population, for part of the year, moved on into Sankt Petersburg Gubernia in search for work. In 1884, 300 factories with a combined number of 7,237 industrial workers were counted; the leading industries were grain mills, distilleries, saw mills, paper production, match production, glass industry, pottery, breweries, textile factories ( Meyer). |
