Taurida Oblast (Russian: Таврическая область, romanized: Tavricheskaya oblast) was an administrative-territorial unit (oblast) of the Russian Empire. It roughly corresponded to most of the Crimean Peninsula and parts of the Southern Ukraine regions.[1] It was created out of territories of the Crimean Khanate, which Russia annexed from the Ottoman Empire] in 1783.[2] In 1796 it was merged into the Novorossiya Governorate.[3] The name Taurida comes from the old Greek name for the area, Tauris, as in ancient times several Greek city-states had developed colonial outposts in the area.[3]
The oblast was created under the Imperial ukase of February 1784 signed by Catherine the Great.[2] The administrative seat of the region was declared the city of Simferopol.[2] Before 1784, Qarasuvbazar served as a temporary administrative center.[citation needed]
