It was initially formed in 1811 as the 25th Infantry Division, and renumbered as the 1st in 1820.[3]: 118  The division took part in the Russo-Japanese War and was located in Manchuria during that time. In August 1914 it was part of the 2nd Army of the Northwestern Front.

In 1915–17 it was assigned to the 12th Army, 5th Army, and later the 1st Army. It was demobilized around the time of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent unrest.[2][4][5]
