In Nolinsky Uyezd, to which the village of Bogorodskoye belonged, the zemstvo post was established by a decision of the zemstvo assembly at the first session of 1867. It began regular operation in 1868. Mail in the volost of the present-day Bogorodsky District was carried along the uyezd Glazov commercial road.

To handle delivery of the zemstvo post in the uyezd, 27 zemstvo stations were maintained; one of them was in the village of Bogorodskoye and had 5 horses. A fee was charged for each horse per verst.

By a resolution of the assembly in 1880, the fee for sending ordinary private correspondence was abolished. The cancellation of the fee led to an increase in the number of letters sent from the uyezd. If in 1878 there were 94, then in 1880 it rose to 984, and in 1894 to 7,158. By 1906, 49 thousand private letters were being sent from the uyezd.

The fee was levied again in 1910–17. Stamps were issued in 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 kopecks. They were printed at the uyezd printing house and at a private printing house in Saint Petersburg. On the 1-, 3-, and 5-kopeck stamps of 1915 there is an image of a flying swan. They were printed on both sides of the sheet. The stamps were cancelled with ink (by crossing out) and with circular and oval handstamps. Presumably in the first half of 1918, in connection with changes in zemstvo postal tariffs, the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-kopeck stamps received hand-applied surcharges in black or purple indicating new denominations of 10, 15, 25, 30, and 50 kopecks. In early September 1918, the post was closed.
