Detailed map of the Leningrad region. Map of the Leningrad region with cities in detail Geographic map of the Leningrad region
The vast St. Petersburg province was created in the course of the administrative reform of Peter the Great in 1710 as a result of the renaming of the former Ingermanland province. At the beginning of its existence, it was divided into districts. In 1719 it was divided into provinces, as a result of which the province consisted of 11 provinces. In 1727, the division of provinces into counties was introduced in the Russian Empire. In the future, the territory of the St. Petersburg province was repeatedly redrawn, including due to the establishment of new provinces (for example, in 1744, lands were allocated from it, which were transferred to the Vyborg province). The final boundaries of the province and the composition of its districts were established only during the reign of Alexander the First (early 19th century).
