The name "Koshekhablsky" is derived from the Circassian words "Kosho" (a Shapsug family name) and "Habl" (meaning neighborhood).[citation needed]
History
Koshekhablsky District was established within Azov-Black Sea Krai on December 31, 1934[2] as a result of the downsizing of the krai's districts. On December 7, 1956, the district was enlarged as portions of abolished Shovgenovsky District were merged into it.[citation needed] However, as the enlargement policy did not prove effective, the district was restored in its previous borders on March 21, 1958.[citation needed] On February 1, 1963, Koshekhablsky District was abolished[2] and merged into newly created Shovgenovsky Rural District.[citation needed] As the new system of rural districts turned out to be inefficient as well, Koshekhablsky District was re-instated in its pre-1963 borders on January 12, 1965.[2]
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Koshekhablsky District is one of the seven in the Republic of Adygea[1] and has administrative jurisdiction over all of its twenty-four rural localities.[6] As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Koshekhablsky Municipal District.[7] Its twenty-four rural localities are incorporated into nine rural settlements within the municipal district.[7] The aul of Koshekhabl serves as the administrative center of both the administrative[1] and municipal[7] district.
