16 November 1870 — the Zemstvo post of Cherdynsky Uyezd (Perm Governorate) was opened. Mail was sent from the uyezd center, the town of Cherdyn, in south-western, northern, and eastern directions to 22 volost administrations twice a week.
From 1 January 1889, Zemstvo postage stamps in denominations of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 kopecks were introduced to pay for the delivery of private correspondence. Stamps cut in half and stamps with surcharges of a new denomination were also used. Most stamps bore the images of the governorate and uyezd coats of arms.
From 1 January 1901, the stamps were used only to pay for the delivery of ordinary private correspondence.
From 1902, the stamps were printed in the uyezd and at EZGB, and were cancelled with ink and various handstamps—oval, circular, and others.
After Soviet power was established in the uyezd, the Zemstvo post continued to operate. Stamps of earlier issues in 4, 8, and 10 kopecks were used to pay for the delivery of private correspondence.
In August 1918, the Zemstvo post was replaced by the Cherdyn Uyezd Soviet Post, for which postage stamps with an original design were issued in the denomination of 10 kopecks.
