History and Administrative Division .
The Petrine administrative reform of 1708 left Saratov within Kazan Gubernia. A larger Saratov Gubernia was established in 1780, a smaller
Saratov Gubernia in 1797; in 1851 Samara Gubernia was formed from territory previously belonging to Saratov, Orenburg and Stavropol Gubernia. Saratov Gubernia bordered on Penza and Simbirsk Gubernia in the north, on Samara Gubernia in the east, on Astrakhan Gubernia and the Don Cossack Host in the south, on Voronezh amd Tambov Gubernia in the west. Saratov Gubernia was divided in 10 Uyezds (districts) : Atkarsk, Balashov, Kamyshin, Khvalynsk, Kuznetsk, Petrovsk. Saratov, Serdobsk, Tsaritsyn and Volsk. Following the Russian Revolution, Saratov Gubernia became part of the RSFSR. Population . The population was 1,901,000 in 1810, 1,717,300 in 1840, 1,725,500 in 1867, 2,222,000 in 1885, 3,432,000 in 1915 (Lahmeyer). The jumps in the population figures indicate that, early in the 19th century, Saratov Gubernia was bigger; probably included part or all of Samara Gubernia, for which population figures are not available prior to 1851. Saratov Gubernia was frontier land, which in the 19th century saw significant immigration, among which featured German colonists. In 1885, capital Saratov had 122,829 inhabitants. Economy . In 1883, 57 % of the area was farmland, 20 % pastorage, 13 % covered by forest; main agricultural products were grain, potatoes and lentals. In 1884 1300 factories were counted, the leading industries being distilleries, grain mills, oil mills, leather and tobacco processing, textile industry etc. (Meyer) Culture . Saratov University was opened in 1909. Historic Encyclopedias on Saratov Gubernia, 1857-1915 |
Saratov Gubernia within the RSFSR .
Tsaritsyn Gubernia was split from Saratov Gubernia. In 1926, Saratov Gubernia bordered on
Penza and Simbirsk Gubernia in the north, on Samara Gubernia and the
Volga German ASSR in the east, on Tsaritsyn Gubernia in the south, on Tambov
Gubernia in the west. An anomaly was the exclave of Saratov Gubernia located east of the Volga, ceded by Samara
Gubernia, separated from the core of Saratov Gubernia by the Volga German ASSR. Population . The population in 1926 was 2,413,400, in 1939 1,454,000 (Lahmeyer). |
