History and Administrative Division .
Ekaterinoslav Gubernia was established in 1802, predecessor Novorossiya (1764-1783, 1796-1802); defunct 1917-1918.
Its territory were divided by Ukraine (bulk) and the RSFSR (east), both founding members of the
USSR in 1922. Ekaterinoslav Gubernia bordered on the Oblast of the Don Host in the east, on
Taurida Gubernia in the south, on Kherson Gubernia
in the west, on Poltava and Kharkov Gubernia in the
north. Ekaterinoslav Gubernia was divided in 8 districts (Uyezds) : Ekaterinoslav, Verkhnodneprovsk, Bakhmut, Novomoskovsk, Alexandrovsk, Pavlograd, Slavyanoserbsk and Rostov on the Don; in 1874 Mariupol Uyezd was split from Alexandrovsk Uyezd; in 1887 Rostov on the Don Uyezd was transferred to Oblast of the Don Host. (Wikipedia : Yekaterinoslav G.). The Zemstvo constitution was introduced in 1866, providing for a degree of autonomy. The Zemstvo councils were dominated by noble owners of estates (EOU : Zemstvo). Population . The population in 1811 was 666,000, in 1840 835,000, in 1867 1,281,500, in 1885 1,792,800, in 1914 3,456,000 (Lahmeyer). Ekaterinoslav Gubernia was affected by the Crimean War 1853-1856, which not only brought war-related casualties, but also pandemics such as cholera. The population figures do reflect a considerable level of immigration. Immigrants were mainly Ukrainians and Russians (in the east), further Armenians, Serbs, Romanians, Albanians, Germans, Greeks, Gypsies. By religion most were Russian Orthodox, next came Jews, Protestants, Armenian Christians, Roman Catholics, Old Believers. In 1864 the Azov Cossack Host, hitherto living in the area between Berdyansk and Mariupol, was resettled beyond the Sea of Azov and merged with the Kuban Cossack Host. Economy . In 1884, 53 % of the area was farmland, 40 % pastorage, 2 % forest. Main agricultural products were grain and potatoes. Animal husbandry was of importance. Mining : Salt, bog iron, coal (Donets Coal Field) were produced. In 1882 there were 727 factories with a combined workforce of 16,126 industrial workers. The leading industries were tobacco processing, production of mill supplies, an iron foundry, brick and tallow production, distilleries, breweries, machine production (Meyer). |
