History
The district was established in 1928 within Pugachyov Okrug of Lower Volga Krai. When okrugs were abolished in 1930, it was subordinated directly to Lower Volga Krai. In 1934, when Lower Volga Krai was split into Saratov and Stalingrad Krais, the district remained a part of the former. In 1936, Saratov Krai was transformed into modern Saratov Oblast, and the district has remained a part of it ever since.
