History

The district was formed in the 1930s under the name Ordzhonikidze district. In 1956, the Kazakh SSR transferred part of the lands of the Golodnaya Steppe to the Uzbek SSR. The Bostandyk district of the South Kazakhstan region (now the Bostanliq district of the Tashkent region), part of the Ordzhonikidze district (now the Qibray district of the Tashkent region) was also transferred. It was abolished in 1963 and restored in 1964. In 1992, it was renamed Qibray district.^[4]
