The Vladimir Governorate[a] was a province (guberniya) of the Russian Empire. It roughly corresponded to most Vladimir Oblast. The Vladimir Governorate bordered the Yaroslavl and Kostroma Governorates to the north, the Nizhny Novgorod Governorate to the east, the Ryazan Governorate to the south, the Moscow Governorate to the southwest, and the Tver Governorate to the northwest. The governorate was eponymously named for its administrative center, Vladimir.

History

[edit]

The Vladimir Province was formed as part of the Moscow Governorate in 1719. In 1778, the Vladimir Viceroyalty was established which consisted of fourteen uezds, as a result of Catherine II's administrative reforms, the viceroyalty existed until 1796. From 1881 to 1917, the governorate contained thirteen uezds with no changes in the border.

Following the Russian Revolution, the Vladimir Governorate became part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. On 1 October 1929, the Vladimir Governorate was dissolved as a result of the Decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of 14 January 1929. The Ivanovo Industrial Oblast was formed, which consisted of the Ivano-Vosnesensk, Vladimir, Yaroslavl, and Kostroma Governorates.
