History
The oldest population of Tambov region was Mordovians-Moksha, which was formed as a nation of local ethnic groups from the 6th century BC. The first Russian settlers came here in the pre-Mongol period, but the final settlement occurred in the 17th century. To protect the southern borders of Russia from the raids of the Tatars and the further development of the Black Soil Russian government built the walled city Kozlov (1635) and Tambov (1636). They reliably blocked the main road to nomad raids on Russian land and paved the way for a quick settlement of the region.
Originally existed in Tambov and the Tambov Kozlowski Uyezd. In the course of the administrative reforms of Peter I in 1708 and 1719's, they were a part of the Azov (Voronezh) province. In 1779, a new administrative division created Tambov governorship, and since 1796—Tambov Province area of 66.5 thousand km2 from 12 counties. With almost no change, it lasted until 1928.
During the Russian Civil War an anti-Bolshevik uprising broke out in the province of Tambov in 1920–1921.
On July 16, 1928 the transition to the regional, district and regional administrative division took place. On the territory of the former Voronezh, Kursk, Oryol and Tambov provinces created the Central Black Earth region (Central Black Earth region). Tambov became the administrative center of Tambov Region (abolished in 1930).
June 13, 1934 the Central Black Earth region was divided into the Kursk and Voronezh Oblasts. Tambov Oblast was finally created from oblasts of Voronezh and Kuybyshev in 27 September 1937. The oblast had present form after separation of Penza Oblast (formerly part of Kuybyshev one before joining to Tambov) in 4 February 1939.
