When the province was formed in 1796, Kaysky and Tsarevosanchursky districts were abolished.

The territory of the modern Kirov region began to be settled in the Upper Paleolithic era. In the 7th century BC. e. started iron age, represented by monuments of the Ananino culture. In the first half of the 1st millennium AD, Finno-Ugric tribes of the Udmurts (in the eastern part) and Mari (in the western part) were formed in the Vyatka River basin, and the Komi tribes were formed to the north of the basin. At the end of XII - early XIII centuries, the settlement of the Vyatka land by the first Russian settlers began; they founded the first Russian cities of Nikulitsyn, Kotelnich, Khlynov on the banks of the Vyatka. With the beginning of the Mongol-Tatar yoke, the influx of immigrants increased sharply. By the second half of the 14th century, the city of Khlynov became the center of the Vyatka land.

In 1378, according to an agreement between the Vyatka nobility and the Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod prince Dmitry Konstantinovich, the Vyatka land became his patrimony. After the death of the prince in 1383 during an internecine war, the Nizhny Novgorod principality went to his brother Boris Konstantinovich, and Principality of Suzdal and Vyatka land - to the children Semyon Dmitrievich and Vasily Kirdyapa.

Province in Russian Empire, Russian Republic and the Soviet Union with its center in the city of Vyatka (modern Kirov).

The Vyatka province was formed in 1796 from the Vyatka governorate of the Kazan province. On December 14, 1929, the Vyatka province became part of the emerging Nizhny Novgorod region. Large parts of the modern Kirov region and Udmurtia are located on the territory of the former Vyatka province.

The Vyatka province bordered in the north - with, in the east - with, in the south - with and, in the west - with the provinces.

History of the formation of the Vyatka province

In 1708 - 1710 Peter the Great carried out provincial reform, which divided the country into 7 large provinces. The Vyatka land, divided into counties, was divided between the Siberian, Kazan and Arkhangelogorod provinces. The Siberian province included the main Vyatka territories - Khlynovsky, Slobodskoy, Kotelnichsky, Oryol, Shestakovsky and Kaigorodsky districts. The southern territories - Yaransky, Urzhumsky, Tsarevosanchursky and Malmyzhsky districts - ended up in the Kazan province. The northern self-governing Lal and Luz volosts were transferred to the Arkhangelsk province.

Matvey Petrovich Gagarin was appointed the first governor of the Siberian province. According to the reform, Tobolsk became the provincial center, but Matvey Gagarin chose Vyatka over him, arriving in it in 1711 and staying there until 1715, from here managing the province entrusted to him. At this time, Vyatka was the actual center of the Siberian province.

In 1719, a new reform divided the provinces into provinces. In the Siberian province 3 provinces were formed: Vyatka, Solikamsk and Tobolsk. The Vyatka province consisted of 7 districts (counties): Khlynovsky, Slobodsky, Kotelnichsky, Oryol, Shestakovsky, Kaigorodsky and Kungursky. The southern Vyatka lands in the Kazan province entered the Kazan province. In 1921, the Kungur district was transferred from the Vyatka province to the Solikamsk province due to long distance between Kungur and Khlynov. In 1727, the Vyatka province moved from the Siberian province to the Kazan province, which brought together the economically gravitating northern and southern regions of the Vyatka region, located in the single Vyatka river system.

In 1780, during the administrative reform of Catherine II in 1775, the Vyatka governorate was formed from the Vyatka province and the southern Vyatka districts of the Kazan province. On this occasion, the provincial city of Khlynov was renamed Vyatka by the highest decree of the empress. In 1796, the Vyatka governorate was transformed into a province.

The Vyatka governorate, formed in 1775, was divided into 13 districts: Vyatsky, Orlovsky, Glazovsky, Sarapulsky, Elabuga, Slobodsky, Kaigorodsky, Urzhumsky, Kotelnichsky, Tsarevosanchursky, Malmyzhsky, Yaransky and Nolinsky. When the Vyatka province was formed in 1796, Kaigorodsky and Tsarevosanchursky districts were abolished.
