Shamilsky District

The western central section of Dagestan contains Shamilsky District, which spans 920 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with Khebda as its center point.

The district, established in 1929 under the name Kakhbisk Canton, later became Soviet District before receiving its current designation in January 1994.

The district preserves the traditions of multiple ethnic groups native to Dagestan through local festivals, traditional crafts, and community gatherings.

Residents of Shamilsky District access administrative services through the central office in Khebda, which coordinates activities across 52 rural settlements.

The district contains ten selsoviets that function as independent rural governments, each managing specific geographical sections within the larger administrative structure.
