Popogorskaya (Popovorskaya) hundred is an administrative-territorial and military unit in the Little Russian Starodub regiment that existed in the 17th century .
The center is the village of Popova Gora (now Red Mountain ).
In the description of the Nezhinsky regiment of 1654 , which at that time included the Starodubsky regiment as an autonomous unit, a separate Popogorsk hundred was mentioned, which was obviously formed immediately after its liberation from the Poles ( 1648 ). However, soon (apparently, in connection with the claims of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra for significant land holdings in this area and, accordingly, with the transfer of the local population to the category of the peasantry), the Popogorsky Hundred was abolished. By the time the Starodub regiment was singled out as an independent unit ( 1663 ), the Popogorsky Hundred was no longer listed and was not renewed in the future.
For about half a century, the territory of the Popogorsk hundreds and its small Cossack population were part of the regimental hundreds , and around 1711 the New Town Hundred was formed here.
Some researchers mention that the Popogorsk Hundred was temporarily restored in the middle of the XVIII century (from 1748 to 1750 or 1752 ), but this information needs to be verified.
