History

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.

In the 1890s, these former Kazakh grazing lands were opened for settlement. In 1893, the first settlement was established at Borisovka by Russian and Ukrainian settlers. In 1895, German settlers established Krasnoyarka, and in 1896—Maksimovka.

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.

Administrative and municipal divisions

Administratively, the district is divided into one urban-type settlement (Sherbakul) and nine rural okrugs (Alexandrovsky, Babezhsky, Borisovsky, Izyumovsky, Krasnoyarsky, Kutuzovsky, Maksimovsky, Slavyansky, and Yekaterinoslavsky) comprising thirty-seven rural localities.[5]

Municipally, the district is incorporated as Sherbakulsky Municipal District and divided into one urban settlement (Sherbakul) and nine rural settlement (which correspond to the rural okrugs).

The larger villages in the district include Borisovskoye and Maksimovka.
