Volokolamsky District, Municipal district in Moscow Oblast, Russia
The district stretches across 1,683 square kilometers in western Moscow Oblast, featuring forests that cover 40 percent of its territory and includes rivers Ruza and Lama.
The administrative division was formally established in January 1929, with subsequent territorial expansions occurring in 1957 that shaped its current boundaries and structure.
The Joseph-Volokolamsk Monastery in Teryayevo village represents the religious heritage of the district, standing 17 kilometers from the administrative center.
The district maintains a balanced population distribution between urban and rural areas, with 49.8 percent residing in cities and 50.2 percent in countryside settlements.
The Moscow Raceway circuit within the district borders provides a modern motorsport facility that contrasts with the traditional agricultural landscape.
