Type 1.

On January 1, 1867, the zemstvo post of Bogorodsky Uyezd (Moscow Governorate) was opened. Mail was sent 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 correspondence was accepted; from that date, private correspondence as well. To pay for forwarding 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 "postage 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 gubernial and uyezd coats of arms. Stamps were canceled in ink (by pen cross-lines) and with various circular date stamps. The post office was closed in 1898.
