History[ | ]

Zernogradsky district (formerly Mechetinsky district with its center in the village of Mechetinskaya) was formed in 1924. In 1932, it was enlarged by transferring into its composition the territory of three village councils - Armenian, Plossky and Peschany. In September 1960, it was renamed Zernogradsky with the transfer of the district center from the village of Mechetinskaya to the city of Zernovoy (Zernograd). In 1963, it was enlarged to include the territory of the Veselovsky and Kagalnitsky districts. In 1980, part of the territory was transferred to the newly restored Kagalnitsky district.[4]
