The governorate was formed on June 13, 1921 mainly from
Kainsky and
Novo-Nikolayevsky districts, previously part of the
Tomsk province, and included some part of the territory of the
Altai and
Omsk provinces. The structure of the counties and volosts in the new province was reorganized — new counties and volosts were created. In particular, in June 1921, the
Kargatsky Uyezd was created on the basis of the reorganized (enlarged)
Kargatskaya Volost. As of August 1921, the Novo-Nikolaevskaya province consists of 5 counties: •
Kainsky Uyezd •
Kamensky Uyezd •
Kargatsky Uyezd •
Novo-Nikolaevsky Uyezd •
Cherepanovsky Uyezd In 1924–1925, the counties were divided into districts (from 6 to 13 districts per county). Since May 25, 1925, in accordance with the resolution of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the RSFSR, all provinces, districts and volosts in Siberia were liquidated. In place of the former districts and volosts, in accordance with the jurisdiction of the "district committees of the RCP(b)" that appeared in 1920–1923, "districts" appear, where district committees form bodies of territorial administration and power: district executive committee, district police department, district military registration and enlistment office, district prosecutor's office, district court and district newspaper. Instead of provinces, territories and regions are formed. The territory of Novo-Nikolaevskaya Governorate became part of the new
Siberian Region, and the city of Novo-Nikolaevsk (Novo-Nikolaevsk), renamed in 1926 to
Novosibirsk, becomes the capital of the region. ==References==
