Type 1
On January 1, 1867, the zemstvo post of Bogorodsky Uyezd (Moscow Governorate) was opened. Mail was dispatched from the uyezd center, the town of Bogorodsk (now Noginsk), twice a week to all volosts of the uyezd.
Until July 1, 1867, only official (government) correspondence was accepted, and from that date private correspondence as well. To pay for the delivery of private correspondence, zemstvo stamped envelopes and zemstvo stamped wrappers were used, and from 1871 zemstvo postage stamps as well. Envelopes and stamps were divided into “prepaid” (blue) and “due” (red). Stamped envelopes had denominations of 5 or 10 kopecks; wrappers, 5 kopecks. Postage stamps issued from 1871 to 1896 had denominations of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 20 kopecks. Stamps issued before 1888 bear images of the governorate and uyezd coats of arms. Stamps were cancelled with ink (by crossing out) and with various circular handstamps. The post office was closed in 1898.
