History

The district was established in 1928 within Pugachyov Okrug of Lower Volga Krai.^[2] When okrugs were abolished in 1930, it was subordinated directly to Lower Volga Krai.^[2] In 1934, when Lower Volga Krai was split into Saratov and Stalingrad Krais, the district remained a part of the former.^[2] In 1936, Saratov Krai was transformed into modern Saratov Oblast, and the district has remained a part of it ever since.^[2]
