Obdora, Province

1693. A geographical dictionary representing the present and ancient names by Edmund Bohun.

Obdora, a Province in the North of Moscovy, on the Frozen Sea; between the River Oby to the East, and Petzora to the West. There is never a City or Town of Note in it. The Dutch who have lately discovered its Sea Coasts, have presumed to call it Niew West Frieslandt: but they have not settled any Colonies here, and probably never will.
