Minor parts of the district in the east and in the north belong to the basins of some of the tributaries of theNorthern Dvina,such as theYumizhand theLudonga,and drain to the northeast.

Most of the district is covered by coniferous forests (taiga).

History

[edit]

The area was populated by speakers ofUralic languagesand then colonized by theNovgorod Republic.After the fall of Novgorod, the area became a part of theGrand Duchy of Moscow.Historically, it was a part ofVazhsky Uyezd,a vast area including almost all of the basin of theVaga River.In the course of theadministrative reformcarried out in 1708 byPeter the Great,the area was included intoArchangelgorod Governorate.In 1780, the governorate was abolished and transformed intoVologda Viceroyalty.Vazhsky Uyezd was split, and the area of the current Ustyansky District became a part of the newly establishedVelsky Uyezd.In 1796, Velsky Uyezd was transferred toVologda Governorateand remained there until 1929, when several governorates were merged intoNorthern Krai.On July 15, 1929, the uyezds were abolished, and Velsky Uyezd was split intoVelsky,Verkhovazhsky,and Ustyansky Districts. The administrative center of Ustyansky district became theseloofShangaly.Ustyansky District became a part ofNyandoma Okrugof Northern Krai.

In the following years, the first-level administrative division of Russia kept changing. In 1930, the okrug was abolished, and the district was subordinated to the central administration of Northern Krai. In 1936, the krai itself was transformed intoNorthern Oblast.In 1937, Northern Oblast was split into Arkhangelsk Oblast and Vologda Oblast. Ustyansky District remained in Arkhangelsk Oblast ever since.

On September 26, 1975, the administrative center of the district was transferred from Shangaly to Oktyabrsky, but it took some time before all of the district services were moved.[11]

From 1924 to 1959,Cherevkovsky Districtexisted, with the administrative center in theseloofCherevkovo,initially inNorthern Dvina Governorate.On September 11, 1959, the district was abolished and split betweenKrasnoborsky,Verkhnetoyemsky,and Ustyansky Districts; the administrative center Cherevkovo became a part of Krasnoborsky District.
