Kursky District, Municipal district in Stavropol Krai, Russia.
Kursky District is a municipal district in southeastern Stavropol Krai that covers a large rural area with dozens of small settlements spread across the land. The territory is organized into ten local administrative units, each serving its own communities.
The district was created in 1935 as part of administrative reorganization that shaped the Stavropol Krai into its modern structure. Since its establishment, it has remained an important part of the regional administrative system.
People of Russian, Armenian, Dargin, Greek, and Nogai backgrounds live together in the rural villages that make up the territory. This mix of communities shapes the everyday customs and traditions visible throughout the district.
The district is sparsely populated and consists mainly of small rural settlements spread across the countryside. Before visiting, it helps to learn about road conditions and what local transportation options are available in the area.
The district operates through a network of selsoviets, traditional village councils such as Baltiyskiy and Galugaevskiy, that handle local governance matters. This decentralized approach to administration is relatively uncommon in modern contexts and reflects local decision-making traditions.
