In the mid-1920s, administrative-territorial reform began to be carried out in the
USSR. All counties and volosts were replaced by districts. The Kamchatka Gubernia Committee began preparatory work on the zoning of the Kamchatka province in the second half of 1925, as preparations were already underway for administrative-territorial transformations in the Far East. On October 7, 1925, at a meeting of the Kamchatka Provincial Revkom, a project for zoning the Kamchatka province was considered. The territories of the 14 former volosts that had formed by that time in the Kamchatka Okrug were taken as the basis for the new administrative-territorial formations. They were only in the former Petropavlovsk district – 9 volosts. On January 4, 1926, the province was liquidated and transformed into
Kamchatka Okrug. Its territory became part of the
Far Eastern Krai. ==References==
