Type 1.
On January 1, 1867, the Zemstvo post of Bogorodsky Uyezd (Moscow Governorate) was opened. Mail was dispatched from the uyezd administrative 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; from that date onward, private correspondence as well. To pay for the forwarding of private correspondence, Zemstvo stamped envelopes and Zemstvo stamped wrappers were used, and from 1871, Zemstvo postage stamps. Envelopes and stamps were divided into “prepaid” (blue) and “due” (red). Stamped envelopes had a face value 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 the images of the governorate and uyezd coats of arms. Stamps were cancelled in ink (by pen cross-outs) and with various circular datestamps. The post office was closed in 1898.
