History
The Kadoshkinsky District was officially established on May 27, 1991,[2] marking its revival after a period of administrative reorganization. Historically, the district's formation dates back to 1935, when it was first established. However, it was abolished in 1963 during Soviet administrative restructuring.[9]
The district's re-establishment in 1991 reflected efforts to restore local governance and regional identity.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Kadoshkinsky District is one of the twenty-two in the republic.[1] It is divided into one work settlement (an administrative division with the administrative center in the work settlement (inhabited locality) of Kadoshkino), and six selsoviets, all of which comprise twenty rural localities.[3] As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Kadoshkinsky Municipal District.[6] Kadoshkino Work Settlement is incorporated into an urban settlement, and the six selsoviets are incorporated into six rural settlements within the municipal district.[6] The work settlement of Kadoshkino serves as the administrative center of both the administrative[3] and municipal[6] district.
