A long peace period led to the expansion of trade relations between Russia and Sweden and the emergence of new cities in the Northern Ladoga. In Russian historiography, data on the cities and counties of Kronoborg, Sordavala, Salmis are fragmentary. Aims and objectives of the study: determining the stages of development of cities and counties, substantiating their role in the local economy and international trade. The review was written using the works of Finnish researchers based on archival sources from Sweden and Finland. The article compares the stages of urban development. The formation of cities took place against the backdrop of complex migration processes, demographic decline, interfaith conflicts, and competition between rural and urban trade. New cities were involved in international trade, which contributed to the development of the territory. In 1710, after Peter the Great took the fortress of Kexholm, the Korelsky county was returned to Russia.
