history

The governorate Archangelgorod was together with seven other governorates in the course of a major administrative reform Tsar Peter the Great on December 18th jul. / 29 December 1708 greg. created. The reform included neither a clear demarcation between the eight governorates nor an internal subdivision of the governorates into further administrative units. The Ujesde that existed up to this point were abolished with the reform. As with the other governorates, the territory of the Archangelgorod governorate was defined on the basis of assigned cities and their lands. The Archangelgorod Governorate consisted of the following 20 cities:

# city # city # city # city # city
1 Arkhangelski gorod (today Arkhangelsk) 5 Kologriwow (today Kologriw) 9 Pustoserski ostrog (today Pustosersk) 13 Tschuchloma 17th Ustyansky volost
2 Galitsch 6th Kolskoi Ostrog (now Kola) 10 Sol Galizskaja (today Soligalitsch) 14th Sudai 18th Ustjug Veliki (today Veliki Ustjug)
3 Kewrol (now Kewrola) 7th Mesen 11 Sol Vytschegodskaja (today Solvytschegodsk) 15th Totma 19th Waga (today Schenkursk)
4th Kineshma 8th Parfenjew (today Parfenjewo) 12 Charonda 16 Unspeakable 20th Vologda

By a ukase of Peter the Great on January 28th jul. / February 8, 1715 greg. the governorate were administratively divided into so-called Doli (singular Dolja , Russian Доля ), which was headed by a district administrator. On May 29th, Jul. / June 9, 1719 greg. Another change in the administrative structure took place. The existing doli were renamed districts ( Дистрикт ). The Tscharondskaja dolja was incorporated into the Saint Petersburg governorate, while the Jarensky district was assigned to the Archangelgorod governorate and Kishema to the Moscow governorate. In addition, the Governorate of Archangelgorod was divided into the following four provinces by the Governorate Senate:

province Russian name Capital
Archangelgorod Архангелогородская провинция Arkhangelsk
Galitsch Галицкая провинция Galitsch
Veliky Ustyug Великоустюжская провинция Veliky Ustyug
Vologda Вологодская провинция Vologda

In 1727 all districts within the governorate were renamed Ujesde again. The Archangelgorod governorate existed until January 14th jul. / January 25, 1780 greg. . The dissolution took place via the ukase of Catherine the Great . The territories of the governorate subsequently became part of the Vologda governorship .
