The district was part of the Bashkir Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic until January 1934, and together with neighboring Argayashsky District, formed the exclave Argayash Canton. The two districts were added to Chelyabinsk Oblast as the Argayash National Okrug, which itself only survived until November 1934.
