Salavatsky District

Salavatsky District is a municipal district in northern Bashkortostan that covers a large area with several neighboring regions. The territory is organized into numerous small rural settlements managed by local administrative bodies.

The district was established in 1935 as Maloyazovsky District and renamed in 1941 to honor a significant regional figure. This change reflected a shift in how the administrative territory identified itself.

The district is named after Salawat Yulayev, an important historical figure in the region. People from different ethnic backgrounds live and work throughout the area.

Maloyaz serves as the main administrative center for all official matters in the district. The region operates on Moscow Standard Time and has a unified postal code system.

The district is divided into sixteen administrative units, each operating as an independent settlement with its own local administration. This structure creates a complex network of smaller communities within the larger municipal area.
