The district is located in a mountainous area, away from major roads.[3] A large part of the district along the mountainous eastern border is in the Altai Nature Reserve.[3] The mountainous topography of the region, like the rest of the Altai Mountains, was created by tectonic movements of the Paleozoic age, more than 300-600 million years ago.
The district was established on October 19, 1923[2] within Oirot Autonomous Oblast.[11]
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Ulagansky District is one of the ten in the Altai Republic.[1] As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Ulagansky Municipal District.[5] Both administrative[1] and municipal[5] districts are divided into the same seven rural settlements, comprising thirteen rural localities.[1][5] The selo of Ulagan serves as the administrative center of both the administrative[1] and municipal[5] district.
