The areas in the north and the east of the district belong to the drainage basin of the Korozhechna River.

The Kashinka crosses the district from the west to the east, and, in particular, Kesova Gora is located on its banks.

Finally, minor areas in the south of the district belong to the basin of the Medveditsa River.

In 1775, Tver Viceroyalty was formed from the lands which previously belonged to Moscow and Novgorod Governorates.

The western part of the current area of the district, including Kesova Gora, was split between Bezhetsky and Kashinsky Uyezds of Tver Viceroyalty.

Kesovsky District, with the administrative center in the selo of Kesova Gora, was established within Bezhetsk Okrug of Moscow Oblast.

The main agricultural specializations in the district are cattle breeding with meat and milk production, as well as crops and vegetables growing.
