Cherepovetsky District
Cherepovetsky District (Russian: Черепове́цкий райо́н) is an administrative and municipal district (raion), one of the twenty-six in Vologda Oblast, Russia. It is located in the northeast of the oblast and borders with Belozersky District in the north, Kirillovsky District in the northwest, Sheksninsky District in the east, Poshekhonsky District of Yaroslavl Oblast in the southeast, Breytovsky District of Yaroslavl Oblast in the south, Vesyegonsky District of Tver Oblast in the southwest, Ustyuzhensky District in the west, and with Kaduysky District in the northwest. The area of the district is 7,640 square kilometers (2,950 sq mi). Its administrative center is the city of Cherepovets (which is not administratively a part of the district). Population: 41,025 (2010 census); 40,871 (2002 Census); 48,336 (1989 Soviet census).
The district is Y-shaped and oriented to the south, with the Rybinsk Reservoir separating the two southern portions of the land. The whole area of the district belongs to the basin of the Volga River. The eastern part belongs to the basin of the Sheksna River and to the basins of minor rivers flowing into the Rybinsk Reservoir. The lower course of the Sheksna crosses the area of the district, and the city of Cherepovets is located in the mouth of the river. The rivers in the western part drain mostly into the Suda and its tributaries, including the Andoga. The lower course of the Suda is also located in the district. The lower course of the Mologa forms the border between Cherepovetsky and Ustyuzhensky Districts. There are many lakes in the southwestern part of the district, the biggest being Lake Kolodenskoye.
Darwin Nature Reserve, the only nature reserve in Vologda Oblast, is located in the coastal areas of the district. The nature reserve is shared with Breytovsky District of Yaroslavl Oblast.
The Sheksna was always one of the main waterways connecting central Russia with Lake Onega and with the Northern Dvina. In the 13th century, the areas along the Sheksna were controlled by the Principality of Beloozero, and in the 14th century they became a part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the east of the current area of the district was included into Ustyuzhensky Uyezd of Ingermanland Governorate (known since 1710 as Saint Petersburg Governorate). In 1727, separate Novgorod Governorate was split off. In 1776, the area was transferred to Novgorod Viceroyalty. In 1777, the town of Cherepovets was founded as a merger of several villages, and in 1802, it became the seat of Cherepovetsky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate (into which the viceroyalty was transformed in 1796).
In June 1918, five uyezds of Novgorod Governorate, including Cherepovetsky Uyezd, were split off to form Cherepovets Governorate, with the administrative center in Cherepovets. On August 1, 1927, Cherepovets Governorate was abolished, and its area became Cherepovets Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. Simultaneously, the uyezds were abolished, and Cherepovetsky District was established with the administrative center in the city of Cherepovets. On September 23, 1937, Cherepovetsky District was transferred to newly established Vologda Oblast and remained there ever since.
On August 1, 1927, a number of other districts, which later were included into Cherepovetsky District, were also established. Abakanovsky District with the administrative center in the selo of Abakanovo was abolished in September 1931. Its territory was split between Cherepovetsky and Kaduysky Districts.
Ulomsky District with the administrative center in the village of Korotovo was abolished on September 20, 1931. Its territory was split between Cherepovetsky and Vesyegonsky Districts of Kalinin Oblast. On November 1, 1940, Ulomsky District was re-established, although it only included the territory which had been a part of Cherepovetsky District. In 1959, it was abolished and merged back into Cherepovetsky District.
Petrinyovsky District with the administrative center in the selo of Voskresenskoye was abolished on December 12, 1955. Myaksinsky District with the administrative center in the selo of Spas-Myaksa was abolished on November 12, 1960. Both districts were merged into Cherepovetsky District.
