History
Historically, the district formed part of the now-defunct Preobrazhensky District, the seat of which was the village of Preobrazhenka, Irkutsk Oblast. In 1930, Preobrazhensky District was incorporated into newly formed Evenki National Raion of Katanga. That raion lost its national status prior to 1940, since when it has existed as the Katangsky District.
