Danilovsky District, Moscow

Danilovsky District, Moscow (Russian: Дани́ловский райо́н) is an administrative district (raion) of Southern Administrative Okrug, and one of the 125 raions of Moscow, Russia.

[2] The area of the district is 12.60 square kilometers (4.86 sq mi)[citation needed].

Until 1991, the territory of the present-day Danilovsky District was part of the Proletarsky and Moskvoretsky districts of Moscow.

In 1991, an administrative reform was carried out in Moscow, during which administrative and municipal districts were established.

As a result, the temporary municipal districts of Simonovsky, Paveletsky, Danilovsky were organized within the Southern Administrative District of Moscow.
