During the industrialization of the Soviet Union in the 1930s, the central regions of the Kazakh SSR developed large coal and metallurgic industries, as well as large collective farms.[7] On December 28, 1940, the Supreme Soviet of the Kazakh SSR passed a decree creating the Osakarov District.[7] At the time of the decree, the newly formed district comprised nearly 40 collective farms and a handful of villages.[7] These farms largely grew various cereals, but were also home to cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, and poultry farming.[7] Upon the outbreak of World War II, over 6,000 people in the district went to fight on the Eastern Front, 7 female Komsomol brigades took up work in their absence, and the district's furniture and record factory were converted into producing various equipment parts and linens for the front line effort.[7] As part of the Virgin Lands campaign, a number of new farms were formed in the district during the 1950s and 1960s.[7]
In 1993, 2002, and 2004, a number of villages in the district were had their names changed from Russian-derived names to Kazakh-derived names.[7]
