Historical information on the province

Kherson province- a province that was located in Novorossiya and covered modern Kherson, Nikolaev, part of Odessa and Kirovograd regions.

The province was founded in 1803 by Alexander I by decree of May 15 No. 20760, when the center was transferred from Nikolaev to Kherson. The province existed until 1922, then part of it became Nikolaevskaya.

U By the order of the Senate on October 8, 1802, the Novorossiysk province was divided into Ekaterinoslav, Nikolaev and Tauride provinces. Kherson district became part of the Nikolaev province. The Nikolaev province existed for less than a year. By decree of the Senate of May 15, 1803, the provincial administration from Nikolaev was transferred to Kherson and the province began to be called Kherson. Until the end of the 19th century, there were no significant administrative and territorial changes in the Kherson region. In March 1918, three northern districts, including Dnieper, moved from Crimea to Ukraine; it became an integral part of the Kherson province. On January 28, 1920, the All-Ukrainian Revolutionary Committee adopted a resolution on the division of the Kherson province into Kherson and Odessa. Nikolaev became the center of the Kherson province. In December 1920, the Kherson province was renamed Nikolaev province. Kherson became the district center of the Nikolaev province. In 1922, Odessa and Nikolaev provinces were united into Odessa province. Kherson district has since been part of the Odessa province. In 1923, the Odessa province was divided into 6 districts, including the Kherson district with its center in the city of Kherson. In 1930, a new administrative-territorial reform was carried out. The Kherson district was liquidated, and the Kherson rural district was transferred to the department of the Kherson City Council of Workers' Deputies. In September 1937, Nikolaev region was separated from the Odessa region.

Administrative division

Initially, the province was divided into 4 districts: Elisavetgrad, Tiraspol, Olviopol and Kherson, and from July 1806 into 5: Alexandria, Elisavetgrad, Olviopol, Tiraspol and Kherson. In 1825, the Odessa district was created from parts of the Kherson and Tiraspol districts. In 1828, Olviopol and Elisavetgrad districts were abolished and Bobrinetsky district was created on their basis. In 1834, Tiraspol district was divided into 2 parts and a new Ananyevsky district was created. In 1865, the administration of the Bobrinetsky district was moved to Elisavetgrad and the district was renamed Elisavetgradsky.
