On July 20, 1899, the Zemstvo post of Lokhvytsia Uyezd (Poltava Governorate) was opened. Mail was sent from the uyezd administrative center, the town of Lokhvytsia, to the volost administrations. Delivery of private correspondence was paid for with Zemstvo postage stamps. Their shapes, sizes, printing methods, designs, and numerous hand-made overprints are highly diverse. All stamps bear the image of the uyezd coat of arms.
