History and Administrative Division .
In 1796, Tver Namestichestvo (est. 1775) was transformed into Tver Gubernia. Tver Gubernia bordered on Novgorod Gubernia
in the north, on Pskov Gubernia in the west, on Smolensk,
Moscow and Vladimir Gubernia in the south and on Yaroslavl Gubernia in the east. Tver Gubernia was divided in 12 districts (Uyezds) : Byezhetsk, Kalyazin, Kashin, Korsheva, Ostashkov, Rzhev, Staritsa, Torzhok, Tver, Vesyegonsk, Vyshniy Volochok and Zubtsov. 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 1811 was 1,201,000, in 1840 1,323,800, in 1867 1,521,600, in 1885 1,681,800, in 1914 2,402,900 (Lahmeyer). By ethnicity the vast majority of the population was ethnic Russian, some 100,000 were Karelians (c. 1883, Meyer). Economy . The Volga and many of her tributaries are navigable, permitting much of the area's forests to be tapped for logging. In 1883, 32 % of the area was forest, 28 % pastorage, 26.8 % farmland. Among agricultural products, grain and flax dominated; fishery and the forest industry (logging, production of tar, tarpentine, pitch etc.) were of importance. In 1884 644 factories with a combined total of 20,378 were counted. The dominant industries were textile industry, leather industry, glass industry, further pottery (fayence), grain milling, paper and brick production, sawmills, distilleries. Factories were concentrated on Tver, Rshew, Ostashkov, Kalyazin and Vyshniy Volochok (Meyer). Culture . Capital Tver, which burnt down in 1763, was seat of a Russian Orthodox bishop; here also an Imperial palace was located. |
