January 15, 1871 — the Zemstvo post of Kungur Uyezd (Perm Governorate) was opened. Mail was sent from the uyezd center, the town of Kungur, to most volost administrations along the Proselochny and Goroblagodatsky routes twice a week.
From January 1, 1890, Zemstvo postage stamps of 1 and 2 kopecks were used to pay for the delivery of private letters and packets. The stamps depict the governorate and uyezd coats of arms. In 1891, 5- and 10-kopeck stamps were issued, and in 1893–96, new 1- and 2-kopeck stamps were issued. All of them were printed at private printing houses. The stamps were cancelled with oval handstamps. From 1898, all correspondence was forwarded free of charge.
