Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the place-names used in Ingria in the 1580s as recorded in ”Baltiska fogderäkenskaper”. These are the place-names of 62 villages, which are partly extant (20 villages), yet mostly extinct (since the 18th—19th centuries). The villages are considered to have originally made up the so-called Ivangorods län of 1582—1589, whose geographical status is first described in this article. Each place-name is given with its historic variants, enabling the reader to trace the alternations in a place-name’s form. Some of the linguistic data revealed (17 villages) are mapped. 25 place-names remained unidentified. Based on the place-names found in the collection the area of Ivangorods län is approximately specified and bordered.
