Apsheronsky District

The Apsheronsky District is a municipal district in Krasnodar Krai in southern Russia. The area contains two main towns and several rural communities connected by roads and rail links that serve the local population and economy.

The district was established as an administrative unit in 1924 with Apsheronsk as its main city. The region developed through construction of transport infrastructure and local economic activities in the decades that followed.

The district incorporates twelve distinct rural settlements, each maintaining specific traditions and contributing to the regional identity of Krasnodar Krai.

The district is in the Moscow time zone and can be reached by train or car. Visitors should prepare for warm weather typical of southern Russia and wear comfortable shoes for exploring rural areas.

A narrow-gauge railway built in 1927 connects the region and remains one of Russia's largest mountain rail systems of this type. This historic line continues to operate and shapes how the district's communities are linked together.
