In 1914 it consisted of approximately 1,900,000 members (about 1.1% of the population) in the Russian Empire.

Here, ''dvor'' originally referred to servants at the estate of an aristocrat. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the system of hierarchy was a system of seniority known as ''mestnichestvo''.
