Story
In 1796, the Vyatka vicegerency was transformed into a province. Administrative-territorial division The Vyatka governorship, formed in 1775, was divided into 13 counties: Vyatka, Orlovsky, Glazovsky, Sarapulsky, Yelabuga, Slobodsky, Kaygorodsky, Urzhumsky, Kotelnichsky, Tsarevosanchursky, Malmyzhsky, Yaransky and Nolinsky. When the province was formed in 1796, the Kaisky and Tsarevosanchursky uyezds were abolished.
The territory of the modern Kirov region began to be settled in the era of the Upper Paleolithic. In the 7th century BC e. the Iron Age began, represented by the monuments of the Ananyino culture. In the first half of the 1st millennium AD, the Finno-Ugric tribes of the Udmurts (in the eastern part) and Mari (in the western part) formed in the Vyatka River basin, and the Komi tribes were formed to the north of the basin. At the end of the 12th - beginning of the 13th centuries, the settlement of the Vyatka land by the first Russian settlers began, they founded the first Russian cities Nikulitsyn, Kotelnich, Khlynov on the banks of the Vyatka. With the beginning of the Mongol-Tatar yoke, the influx of immigrants increases sharply. By the second half of the 14th century, the city of Khlynov became the center of the Vyatka land.
In 1378, according to an agreement between the Vyatka nobility and the Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod prince Dmitry Konstantinovich, the Vyatka land became his fiefdom. After the death of the prince in 1383 during the internecine war, the principality of Nizhny Novgorod went to his brother Boris Konstantinovich, and the principality of Suzdal and the Vyatka land - to the children of Semyon Dmitrievich and Vasily Kirdyapa. In the war with their nephew, Moscow Prince Vasily I, the brothers were defeated, but retained the Vyatka land.
In 1401, Semyon Dmitrievich dies, in 1403 - Vasily Kirdyapa. After their death, Vasily I annexes the Vyatka land to the Grand Duchy of Moscow. After the death of Vasily I in 1425, during the confrontation between the Galician and Moscow factions, Vyatka took part on the side of the Galician princes. After the defeat of the Galician group in 1452, power in Vyatka passes to local boyars and merchants. In 1455-1457 a wooden Kremlin was built in the city. In 1457, Moscow Prince Vasily II tried to take the city, but was defeated.
In 1459, he makes a second campaign against Vyatka, after a long siege, the city surrenders. The Vyatka land was annexed to the Moscow state with the preservation of local self-government. In 1485, power in the city passes to the separatists, led by John Anikiev. After two campaigns in 1487 and 1489, the troops of Ivan III the Great took the city, the conspirators were executed, and the Vyatka nobility moved to the Moscow region. Vyatka land was finally included in the centralized Russian state.
In 1708 - 1710, Peter the Great divided the country into 7 large provinces. Vyatka land, divided into counties, was divided between the Siberian, Kazan and Arkhangelsk provinces. The Siberian province included the main Vyatka territories - Khlynovsky, Slobodsky, Kotelnichsky, Orlovsky, Shestakovsky and Kaygorodsky counties. The southern territories - Yaransky, Urzhumsky, Tsarevosanchursky and Malmyzhsky districts - ended up in the Kazan province. The northern self-governing Lal and Luz volosts were ceded to the Arkhangelsk province. Matvey Petrovich Gagarin was appointed the first governor of the Siberian province. According to the reform, Tobolsk became the provincial center, but Matvey Gagarin preferred Vyatka to him, arriving in it in 1711 and staying there until 1715, exercising control of the province entrusted to him from here. At that time, Vyatka was the actual center of the Siberian province. In 1719, a new reform divided the provinces into provinces.
In the Siberian province, 3 provinces were formed: Vyatka, Solikamsk and Tobolsk. The Vyatka province consisted of 7 districts (counties): Khlynovsky, Slobodsky, Kotelnichsky, Orlovsky, Shestakovsky, Kaygorodsky and Kungursky. The southern Vyatka lands in the Kazan province became part of the Kazan province. In 1721 In 1727, the Vyatka province passed from the Siberian province to the Kazan province, which brought together the economically gravitating northern and southern regions of the Vyatka region, located in the single river system of Vyatka.
In 1780, during the administrative reform of Catherine II in 1775, the Vyatka governorship was formed from the Vyatka province and the southern Vyatka districts of the Kazan province. On this occasion, the provincial town of Khlynov was renamed Vyatka by the highest decree of the Empress. In 1796, the Vyatka governorship was transformed into the Vyatka province.

During the administrative reform of Peter the Great in 1708-1710, when the territory of the future Russian Empire was first divided into provinces (a total of eight large provinces) and counties, the Vyatka land was divided between three provinces - Siberian, Kazan, Arkhangelsk and Arkhangelsk. With this division, most of the Vyatka lands turned out to be part of the Siberian province (counties Khlynovsky, Slobodskoy, Kotelnichsky, etc.). The southern territories (the counties of Yaransky, Urzhumsky, Tsarevosanchursky, Malmyzhsky) became part of the Kazan province, and the northern self-governing Lal and Luz volosts were transferred to the Arkhangelsk province. In 1719, with the introduction of a new administrative-territorial unit - the province (lasted until 1775) - three provinces were formed in the Siberian province: Vyatka, Solikamsk, Tobolsk. In turn, the provinces were divided into districts - thus, the Vyatka province was divided into seven districts - Khlynovsky, Slobodskoy, Kotelnichsky and others. The southern Vyatka lands, located in the Kazan province, made up the Kazan province. In 1727, the Vyatka province (with the exception of the Kungur district, which had previously been transferred to the Solikamsk province) became part of the Kazan province. Under Catherine the Second, in 1780, from the aforementioned lands of the Vyatka province, three Vyatka districts of the former Kazan province (parts of the Kazan, Kozmodemyansk, Tsarevokokshay districts) and parts of the Orenburg and Ufa districts of the Orenburg province, the Vyatka governorship was formed from thirteen counties with the center in the city of Vyatka (up to 1780 Khlynov).
In the Vyatka province, in whole or in part
There are the following maps and sources:
(with the exception of those indicated on the main page of general
all-Russian atlases, where this province can also be)
1 survey layout (1778-1797)
The boundary map is a non-topographic (without indicating latitudes and longitudes), hand-drawn map of the late 18th century (after the borders were redistributed in 1775-78). There is only 1 inch = 1 verst 1 cm = 420 m in the Vyatka province. Some of the maps belong to the period of Catherine II 1775-96, Paul I, having come to power, changed the borders of counties within the provinces (which, in turn, Alexander I returned to their original place, but with some changes), while part of the maps of the General Survey Fund survived only during this period.
The maps are in color, very detailed, broken down by county. The purpose of the map is to show the boundaries of land plots with reference to the terrain.
Lists of settlements in 1876
This is a reference book that contains the following data on settlements: - this is a village, village or village, owner or state (state)

Under Paul the First in 1796, the Vyatka governorship was transformed into the province of the same name with the simultaneous enlargement of some counties due to the abolition of others (the Kaigorodsky and Tsarevosanchursky counties were abolished, due to the lands of which Glazov, Slobodskoy and Yaransky counties were enlarged, respectively, due to the liquidated Malmyzhsky county the territory of Urzhum and Elabuga counties increased), only ten counties. The last changes in the boundaries of the province and its districts took place during the reign of Alexander the First (at the beginning of the 19th century and in 1816), when the province consisted of eleven districts (the eleventh, restored - Malmyzhsky), and during the entire subsequent pre-revolutionary period in the history of the Vyatka province they did not changed.
Vyatka Governorate bordered on the following provinces:
Vologda Governorate, Perm Governorate, Kazan Governorate, Nizhny Novgorod Governorate, Kostroma Governorate.

A province in the Russian Empire, the Russian Republic, and the Soviet Union, centered on the city of Vyatka (modern-day Kirov).
The Vyatka province was formed in 1796 from the Vyatka governorship of the Kazan province. On December 14, 1929, the Vyatka province became part of the emerging Nizhny Novgorod region. On the territory of the former Vyatka province, large parts of the modern Kirov region and Udmurtia are located.
Vyatka province bordered in the north - with, in the east - with, in the south - with and, in the west - with the provinces.
The history of the formation of the Vyatka province
In 1708 - 1710, Peter the Great carried out a provincial reform, dividing the country into 7 large provinces. Vyatka land, divided into counties, was divided between the Siberian, Kazan and Arkhangelsk provinces. The Siberian province included the main Vyatka territories - Khlynovsky, Slobodsky, Kotelnichsky, Orlovsky, Shestakovsky and Kaygorodsky counties. The southern territories - Yaransky, Urzhumsky, Tsarevosanchursky and Malmyzhsky districts - ended up in the Kazan province. The northern self-governing Lal and Luz volosts were ceded to the Arkhangelsk province.
Matvey Petrovich Gagarin was appointed the first governor of the Siberian province. According to the reform, Tobolsk became the provincial center, but Matvey Gagarin preferred Vyatka to him, arriving in it in 1711 and staying there until 1715, exercising control of the province entrusted to him from here. At that time, Vyatka was the actual center of the Siberian province.
In 1719, a new reform divided the provinces into provinces. In the Siberian province, 3 provinces were formed: Vyatka, Solikamsk and Tobolsk. The Vyatka province consisted of 7 districts (counties): Khlynovsky, Slobodsky, Kotelnichsky, Orlovsky, Shestakovsky, Kaygorodsky and Kungursky. The southern Vyatka lands in the Kazan province became part of the Kazan province. In 1921, the Kungur district was transferred from the Vyatka province to Solikamsk due to the large distance between Kungur and Khlynov. In 1727, the Vyatka province passed from the Siberian province to the Kazan province, which brought together the economically gravitating northern and southern regions of the Vyatka region, located in the single river system of Vyatka.
In 1780, during the administrative reform of Catherine II in 1775, the Vyatka governorship was formed from the Vyatka province and the southern Vyatka districts of the Kazan province. On this occasion, the provincial town of Khlynov was renamed Vyatka by the highest decree of the Empress. In 1796, the Vyatka governorate was transformed into a province.
The Vyatka vicegerency, formed in 1775, was divided into 13 counties: Vyatka, Orlovsky, Glazovsky, Sarapulsky, Yelabuga, Slobodsky, Kaygorodsky, Urzhumsky, Kotelnichsky, Tsarevosanchursky, Malmyzhsky, Yaransky and Nolinsky. With the formation of the Vyatka province in 1796, the Kaigorodsky and Tsarevosanchursky districts were abolished.

Vyatka province - a territorial entity in the former Russian Empire with a center in the city of this region, was by no means always part of one territorial entity, but they were always economically interconnected.
Formation of the territory of the province
Before the administrative reform of Peter the Great in 1708-1710, there was practically no division of territory into regions in Russia. The great king in 1708 divided the state into 7 provinces. Note that the question of creating the Vyatka province at that time was not raised, therefore, the lands adjacent to the Vyatka River were included in such formations:
Siberian province (6 counties);
Kazan (5 counties);
Arkhangelsk (2 volosts).
In 1719, each of these provinces was divided into provinces. The Vyatka province at that time was part of the Siberian province, but in 1727 it was transferred to the Kazan province. Such a transformation was very beneficial from an economic point of view, since the Kazan province initially included many lands on which it flows. As you know, at that time river transport was the main one in maintaining economic ties and developing trade.
Administrative changes also took place in the empire in the second half of the 18th century. For example, in 1780, the Vyatka governorship was created. The territory included the lands of the province of Vyatka and some southern districts of the Kazan province.
Legal registration of the creation of the province
In 1796, the governorship was reformatted into a province. With this action, tsarism actually recognized the fact that the Vyatka province should have existed from the very beginning and within economically justified boundaries. Administratively, the territory was divided into 13 counties:
Vyatsky;
Orlovsky;
Glazovsky;
Sarapulsky;
Yelabuga;
Sloboda;
Kaigorodsky;
Urzhumsky;
Kotelnichsky;
Tsarevosanchursky;
Malmyzhsky;
Yaransky;
Nolinsky.
Center of the province
Vyatka (city) was founded by people from the Novgorod lands between 1181 and 1374. In historical chronicles, under 1181, the settlement of Kotelnich is mentioned, but nothing is said about Vyatka yet. But it was in 1374 that the city was mentioned in connection with the campaign of the Novgorodians against the capital of the Volga Bulgars.
Vyatka is a city that changed its name several times. It is known that immediately after its foundation it was called Khlynov, although there is no official confirmation of this fact in the form of archival documents. In 1374, according to the Tale of the Land of Vyatka, the center of this region was called Vyatka. Since 1457 the name Khlynov has returned again. In connection with the administrative reform of 1780, Empress Catherine issued a decree about returning the name Vyatka to the city, which remained until the end of 1934. As you know, the communist leader Kirov was killed this year. The Soviet leadership decided to honor the memory of the communist by renaming Vyatka to Kirov. At the moment, the issue of returning the historical name to the city is being raised, but this idea does not have serious support.
Ethnic composition
The census of the Vyatka province in 1897 made it possible to form a real idea about the ethnic structure of the region in general and each county specifically. So, the total amounted to 3030831. Of this number, Russians were 77.4%, Udmurts - 12.5%, Tatars - 4.1%, Mari - 4.8%. If we look at the districts, we will see a slightly different picture. For example, in the Vyatka district, the Russian population was 99.5%. The same picture could be observed in Kotelnichsky, Nolinsky, Oryol counties. In the Glazov district lived 54% of Russians, 42% of Udmurts, 2% of Tatars and Komi-Permyaks. The most multinational is Yelabuga county. Here, at the time of the census, the population structure was as follows: 53.3% - Russians, 21.9% - Udmurts, 3.1% - Maris, 16.3% - Tatars, 3.7% - Bashkirs, 1.7% - Teptyars . In the Malmyzh district, representatives of Russian nationality were about 54%, Udmurts - 24%, Mari - 4%, Tatars - 17%. As we can see, the Vyatka province is multinational, because at least 3 nationalities lived in each county. There were only a few mono-ethnic districts in 1897.
Villages of the Vyatka province
The territory of each province was divided into several administrative parts. The Vyatka province was no exception. Counties, in modern terms, are areas that include village councils (in tsarist times - volosts). The names of villages and smaller villages often played a cruel joke on the inhabitants, because the passers-by could take some ugly name seriously, thinking that it really characterizes the inhabitants of the settlement.
Consider this situation on the example of the names of the villages of Nolinsky district. In 1926, a census was conducted, which recorded the existence of such villages:
Clueless (a negative characteristic of the intellectual abilities of the peasants);
Doodles (an even more negative expression);
Bogoeds (people who eat God);
sores;
Kobelevshchina and Males (we are already talking about some sexual characteristics);
Culture and Labor, Economy of Labor (purely Soviet names);
Netrusy (depending on how to understand the meaning of the word, a positive or negative connotation is given);
Shame (shameful place).
Vyatka province: from history to the present
Today we live in a modern country that is developing and looking confidently into the future. There are many industrial enterprises in the Kirov region. In the early 2000s, the results of which showed that the national structure of the population remained virtually unchanged. This region is notable for the fact that Mari, Udmurts, Russians, Tatars and descendants of Perm live here mixed. between representatives of different nationalities has never been observed.
