History

The district was established in 1930.[2]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Birsky District is one of the fifty-four in the Republic of Bashkortostan.[1] It is divided into fourteen selsoviets, comprising seventy-five rural localities.[6] The town of Birsk serves as its administrative center,[3] despite being incorporated separately as a town of republic significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts (and which, in addition to Birsk, also includes two rural localities).[6]

As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Birsky Municipal District, with the town of republic significance of Birsk being incorporated within it as Birsk Urban Settlement.[7] Its fourteen selsoviets are incorporated as fourteen rural settlements within the municipal district.[7] The town of Birsk serves as the administrative center of the municipal district as well.[7]
