History
The district was founded on July 2, 1940.[2]
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Sharypovsky District is one of the forty-three in the krai.[1] The town of Sharypovo serves as its administrative center, despite being incorporated separately as a krai town[1]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[10] The district is divided into seven selsoviets.[1]
As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Sharypovsky Municipal District and is divided into seven rural settlements (corresponding to the administrative district's selsoviets).[6] The krai town of Sharypovo is incorporated separately from the district as Sharypovo Urban Okrug.[11]
Paleontology
A species Sineleutherus issedonicus was described by A. O. Averianov, A. V. Lopatin and S. A. Krasnolutskii in 2011. It lived in what is now Sharypovsky District (Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia) during the middle Jurassic (Bathonian age); its fossils were collected from the upper part of the Itat Formation.[12]
