Sherbakulsky District

Sherbakulsky District (Russian: Шербаку́льский райо́н; Kazakh: Шарбақкөл ауданы, Sharbaqkól aýdany) is an administrative[1] and municipal[5] district (raion), one of the thirty-two in Omsk Oblast, Russia.

[citation needed] Its administrative center is the urban locality (a work settlement) of Sherbakul.

[3] The territory of what is now Sherbakulsky District was a part of the Kazakh Khanate until 1718, when, after the death of Tauke Khan, the khanate broke apart and Cossack units moving south from Russia occupied the area.

Modern Sherbakulsky District was created on October 14, 1924 as part of the Soviet reorganization of the oblast structure under the State Division of Soviet Middle Asian Republics.

[citation needed] As an administrative division, the district is divided into one work settlement (Sherbakul) and nine rural okrugs (Alexandrovsky, Babezhsky, Borisovsky, Izyumovsky, Krasnoyarsky, Kutuzovsky, Maksimovsky, Slavyansky, and Yekaterinoslavsky) comprising thirty-seven rural localities.
