He permanently divided Novorossiia into three guberniias. Two of them took their names from cities: Katerynoslav, "the glory of Catherine," founded in 1786 by her favorite Potemkin; and the port Mykolaiv, later replaced by Kherson. This latter guberniia included Odessa. The third division of Novorossiia was called Taurida, from the ancient Greek name for the Crimea. 16 The administration of these three provinces was originally confided to a single governor general. The duc de Richelieu, who accepted the commission in 1805, was the second governor general, and the first to combine that post with appointment as chief of Odessa."
