- Administrative/biographical history:
- Municipal administrations were established pursuant to the City Statute of 1870 as executive bodies of municipal dumas; they were in charge of issues pertaining to the management of the city economy. They were headed by mayors, and consisted of several departments (the administrative, commercial-financial, construction, etc. departments) and commissions. The Nikolaev Municipal Administration also had a Jewish Desk, which was in charge of disbursing korobka [kosher meat tax] funds in particular. Municipal administrations ceased operations in 1920.
