Abstract The article is devoted to the main stages and results of the process of forming administrative and territorial boundaries on the Kola Peninsula located in the Russian Arctic zone from the 12th to the 20th centuries, during which it became a completely independent entity, with significant natural and human resources, organically integrated into the russian-wide strategic, economic and socio-cultural space. The authors highlight 4 main stagesand the administrative-territorial developmentof the region: the 1st (12th - 15th centuries) - «cross-border», meaning that there are no clear boundaries, both external and internal; the 2nd (16th to 17th centuries) - «border» during which the external (state) border was formed; The 3rd (XVIII to early 20th centuries) is a «state» defined as a stage of existence in the form of a region with low administrative status; 4th (1920th to 1930th) «subjective», that finally defined the external and internal borders and the place of the region within Russia.
