Polack District, Administrative district in Vitebsk Region, Belarus
Polack District is an administrative area in the northern part of Vitebsk Region in Belarus. It encompasses numerous settlements scattered around its main city, Polotsk, and covers gently rolling terrain across the landscape.
The area was established as a district in 1924 when Belarus underwent administrative reorganization from its previous Okrug system. This governmental structure has remained the foundation of local administration ever since.
The area reflects medieval roots through traditions that locals continue to practice in daily events and celebrations. Visitors can see these customs reflected in how communities gather and mark important occasions throughout the year.
The area is organized into multiple municipalities and settlements connected by a network of local roads. The region is most accessible during the warmer months when travel between different towns becomes easier.
The Daugava River runs through this territory, creating natural boundaries that divide different sections. This waterway has shaped the landscape and influenced how settlements developed over the centuries.
