Kaytagsky District

Kaytagsky District extends across 678 square kilometers of southeastern Dagestan, containing forty-five rural localities organized into twelve administrative subdivisions called selsoviets.

The district emerged from a former small Dargin state called Kaitag around 1800, where the ruler held the title of Utsmi and governed from the town of Bashli.

The district maintains strong ties to Dargin ethnic heritage through local festivals, traditional ceremonies, and community gatherings that represent the cultural identity of the region.

The administrative center Madzhalis coordinates district operations, managing local governance and serving as a central point for the district's 31,368 residents.

The district operates entirely without urban settlements, functioning through a network of rural communities that preserve traditional agricultural practices and social structures.
