About Livonia Governorate
The Livonia Governorate was a province (guberniya) and one of the Baltic governorates of the Russian Empire, part of the Baltic Governorate-General until 1876. The Livonia Governorate bordered the Estonia Governorate to the north, Saint Petersburg and Pskov Governorates to the east, Vitebsk Governorate and Courland Governorate to the south, and the Gulf of Riga to the west. In 1897, the population of the governorate was 1,299,365, and it had an area of 47,030.87 square kilometres (18,158.72 mi2). The administrative centre of the governorate was the Baltic Sea port of Riga. It roughly corresponded to the modern Vidzeme region of Latvia and southern Estonia.
