Shchyolkovsky District

Shchyolkovsky District is an administrative region in northeastern Moscow Oblast covering roughly 704 square kilometers. It contains around 92 residential communities, ranging from urban settlements to rural villages and worker towns.

The district was part of Moscow Okrug until 1930, when administrative reforms reshaped the territorial organization of suburban Moscow. These changes set the foundation for the region's structure and development today.

The district shows a blend of rural traditions and industrial growth across its settlements. This mix of villages and worker towns shapes how the area looks and feels today.

The region connects to central Moscow through various transport routes, with the administrative center Shchyolkovo located about 20 kilometers from the capital. This location makes the area fairly accessible from Moscow's center.

The district's population shows a clear split between urban and rural residents, with roughly 82 percent living in town areas and about 18 percent in countryside locations. This distribution creates an interesting mix of modern settlements and open rural landscapes.
