Belgorod Governorate (Russian: Белгородская губерния, romanized: Belgorodskaya guberniya) was an administrative-territorial unit (guberniya) of the Russian Empire in 1727–1779 with its capital in Belgorod. In 1775–1779, as a result of the gubernatorial reform of Catherine II, Belgorod Governorate was divided between the newly formed viceroyalties, and Belgorod became the uyezd city of Kursk Governorate.
History
Belgorod Governorate was separated from Kiev Governorate on March 1, 1727.[1] Initially, a governorate consisted of one Belgorod Province, later, in the same 1727, Oryol and Sevsk Provinces were annexed to it.[2]
