16 November 1870 — the zemstvo post of Cherdyn Uyezd (Perm Governorate) was opened. Mail was sent from the uyezd center, the town of Cherdyn, in the southwest, north, and east 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 indicating a new denomination were also used. Most stamps bore 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; they were cancelled with ink and with a variety of handstamps—oval, circular, and others.
After Soviet power was established in the uyezd, the zemstvo post continued to operate. To pay for the delivery of private correspondence, stamps of earlier issues in 4, 8, and 10 kopecks were used.
In August 1918, the zemstvo post was replaced by the Cherdyn Uyezd Soviet Post, for which postage stamps with an original design, denomination 10 kopecks, were issued.
