From 1708 to 1780, the territory which was to form Tambov Gubernia in part was allocated to Kazan Gubernia, in part to Azov Gubernia.
Tambov Gubernia was established in 1796; its borders remained unchanged until the administrative reform of 1928. Tambov Gubernia bordered
on Ryazan, Tula and Oryol Gubernia in the west,
Vladimir and Nizhny Novgorod Gubernia in the north,
Penza and Saratov Gubernia in the east and Voronezh Gubernia in the south. Tambov Gubernia was divided in 12 districts (Uyezds) : Borissoglebsk, Jelatma, Kirsanow, Koslow, Lebedjan, Lipezk, Morschansk, Schazk, Spask, T., Temnikow und Usman. 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. Population . The population in 1815 was 1,267,000, in 1840 1,750,900, in 1867 2,151,000, in 1885 2,759,100, in 1915 3,555,000 (Lahmeyer). Cities over 10,000 inhabitants in 1880 included Tambow, Koslow, Morschansk, Lipezk, Borissoglebsk (Meyer). The population consisted largely of ethnic Russians, with Mordvinians, Meshcheryaks and Volga Tatars dwelling in the west and northwest (EB 1911). In 1825 the Subbotnik (christians who observed the sabbath and a number of Jewish customs; labelled Jews by the authorities) residents of Tambov Gubernia were expelled (Jewish Encyclopedia). Economy . In 1883, 63.3 % of the land was farmland (mostly the fertile black soil), 18.3 % forest, 13.4 % pastorage. Main agricultural products were grain, linen, hemp, cabbage, cucumbers, beets, tobacco. Dominant industries were distilleries, textile industry, sugar refineries, tobacco industry and steel foundries. The most notable trading centres were Tambov, Koslov and Morshansk (Meyer). The railroad line Moscow-Tambov was completed in 1870. Tambov Gubernia had a flourishing textile industry, supplying the Russian armed forces with uniforms. |
