History
The district was established in 1924 within Salsky Okrug of South Eastern Krai (Oblast) on the territories of former Ilyinskaya Volost and a part of Atamanskaya Volost.[2] When Rostov Oblast was established in 1937, the district became its part.[2] In 1962–1965, the district was merged into Zimovnikovsky District, but was re-established in modern borders in January 1965.[2]
