The Voronezh province, consisting of five provinces, was legally formalized in 1725 by simply renaming the Azov province, established by Peter the Great during the administrative reform of 1708. In 1765, under Catherine the Second, part of the southern lands of the province (along with part of the southern lands of the province) was separated from its composition with the subsequent organization on these lands of the Sloboda-Ukrainian province (with the administrative center in the city of Kharkov). One of the provinces of the Voronezh province - Bakhmut (the cities of Bakhmut, Borovsky, Krasnyansky and "other towns and settlements") was divided between the Sloboda-Ukrainian (in 1780 it was transformed into the Kharkov vicegerency) and Novorossiysk provinces (the latter was organized a year earlier on the lands of the former Novoserbia and "Zadneprovsk places") and the land of the Don Cossacks. In the course of the administrative reform of 1779, the Voronezh province was divided into two governorships - Tambov and Voronezh. The Voronezh governorship consisted of fifteen counties (Belovodsky, Biryuchensky, Bobrovsky, etc. - a number of lands of the former Sloboda province were transferred to the governorship).

Economic Notes to the General Land Survey of the Voronezh Governorate Quite interesting notes with a large number of edits, which speaks of great disputes in the division of land.
In the course of the territorial transformations of Paul the First in 1796, the Voronezh vicegerency was reorganized into the province of the same name. In 1797, six counties (Belovodsky, Bogucharsky, Livensky, etc.) were transferred from the Voronezh province to the restored Sloboda-Ukrainian province, nine counties remained in the Voronezh province. Under Alexander the First, in 1802, Bogucharsky and Ostrogozhsky counties were returned to the Voronezh province from the Sloboda-Ukrainian province, Starobelsky county was also included in its composition from the same province, from Saratov province The Novokhopersk district was included in the Voronezh region. The last changes in the pre-revolutionary composition of the districts of the Voronezh province took place at the end of the reign of Alexander the First in 1824, when the Starobelsky district was separated from the Voronezh province into the Sloboda-Ukrainian province.
Voronezh province- administrative-territorial unit Russian Empire and the RSFSR, which existed from 1725 to 1779 and from 1796 to 1928. The provincial city is Voronezh. The Voronezh Governorate was officially formed on April 25, 1725 as a result of the transformation of the Azov Governorate. It included 5 provinces: Bakhmut, Voronezh, Yelets, Tambov and Shatsk. In 1765, the southwestern parts of the Belgorod and Voronezh provinces were transferred to the Sloboda-Ukrainian province with a center in Kharkov, formed on the basis of the Sloboda Cossack regiments, the Bakhmut province was divided between the Sloboda-Ukrainian and Novorossiysk provinces and the land of the Don Cossacks. In 1779, during the administrative reform of Catherine II, the Voronezh province was divided into the Voronezh and Tambov governorships. When the Voronezh vicegerency was formed, it included 15 counties: Belovodsky, Biryuchensky, Bobrovsky, Bogucharsky, Valuysky, Voronezhsky, Zadonsky, Zemlyansky, Kalitvyansky, Korotoyaksky, Kupensky, Livensky, Nizhnedevitsky, Ostrogozhsky, Pavlovsky. In 1784, a new breed of horse, the Orlovsky trotter, was bred at the Khrenovsky stud farm of Count Alexei Orlov. Mares from Friesland were crossed with Arab and Arab-Danish stallions. On December 12, 1796, under Paul I, the Voronezh vicegerency was again transformed into the Voronezh province. In 1829, a peasant from the Biryuchensky district, Daniil Bokarev, was the first in the world to come up with a method for obtaining oil from sunflower seeds. In the autumn of 1891-summer 1892, the territory of the Voronezh province became part of the main zone of crop failure caused by drought (see Famine in Russia (1891-1892)). After October revolution 1917, the Voronezh province, almost in its entirety, became part of the Russian Soviet Federative Republic formed in 1918 Socialist Republic(RSFSR), except for the southern regions included in the newly created UNR. Council Decree People's Commissars“On the procedure for changing the boundaries of provincial, district and other” of January 27, 1918, local Soviets of workers', peasants' and soldiers' deputies were given complete independence in resolving issues of changing borders, dividing regions, provinces, districts and volosts into parts, forming new administrative or economic units. By the Decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee “On the administrative division of the Voronezh province” dated January 4, 1923, 12 counties were approved: Bobrovsky, Bogucharsky, Valuysky, Voronezhsky, Zadonsky, Kalacheevsky, Novokhopersky, Nizhnedevitsky, Ostrogozhsky, Pavlovsky, Rossoshansky, Usmansky. In connection with the enlargement of volosts in 1924, their number in the counties of the Voronezh province decreased from 214 to 92. in the city of Voronezh. At the time of its formation, the Voronezh Governorate occupied a vast area from Elatma in the north to Sea of Azov in the south and from Kupyansk in the west to Insar in the east. In the XIX century, the Voronezh province was located in the center of the European part of Russia in the upper reaches of the Don River. It bordered in the west - with Oryol and Kursk, in the northeast - with Tambov, in the east - with Saratov, in the south - with Kharkov provinces and with the Don Army Region in the southeast. The area of the province was 66,580 km² in 1847, 65,892 km² in 1905, and 67,016 km² in 1926. In 1797, Belovodsky, Bogucharsky, Livensky, Kalitvyansky, Kupensky, Ostrogozhsky counties were transferred to the restored Sloboda-Ukrainian province. In 1802, the Bogucharsky, Ostrogozhsky, and Starobelsky uyezds were alienated to the Voronezh province, and the Novokhopyorsky uyezd was transferred from the Saratov province. In 1824, the Starobelsky district was returned to the Sloboda-Ukrainian province. Thus, from 1824 to 1918 the province was divided into 12 districts. In 1918, the Kalacheevsky district was formed from 22 volosts of the Bogucharsky district. April 1, 1918 Biryuchensky district was renamed Alekseevsky. On January 4, 1923, Alekseevsky, Zemlyansky and Korotoyaksky counties were abolished, Rossoshansky county was formed, Usmansky county was transferred to the Voronezh province from Tambov. On May 12, 1924, the Zadonsky, Kalacheevsky and Pavlovsky counties were abolished. Thus, in 1926, the province included 9 counties. Interesting Facts: while in Voronezh, Peter I made a model of the fortress. Built later according to this layout, the fortress was named Kronstadt. The Principium galley was assembled in Voronezh. It was on it that, on the way to Azov, Peter I signed the "Charter on the galleys", which can be considered the first Russian naval charter. For the first Russian regular Navy in 1696-1711, 215 ships were built in Voronezh. It was they who participated in the conquest of the fortress of Azov. (Based on Wikipedia)
At the beginning of the 20th century, the province was divided into 12 counties: Biryuchensky, Bobrovsky, Bogucharsky, Valuysky, Voronezhsky, Zadonsky, Zemlyansky, Korotoyaksky, Nizhnedevitsky, Novokhopersky, Ostrogozhsky and Pavlovsky counties.
