Uvatsky District, Administrative district in Tyumen Oblast, Russia.
Uvatsky District is an administrative area in northern Tyumen Oblast, with Uvat functioning as its main administrative center. The region spans a vast territory containing multiple rural settlements and inhabited localities spread across diverse landscapes.
The district was established in 1923 during Soviet administrative reforms as a territorial division to improve regional governance. This creation reflected broader efforts to organize northern territories more effectively.
The settlements across this district reflect a rural way of living shaped by the region's remote northern location and climate demands.
The district operates on UTC+5 time zone and official administrative matters can be handled through the district's website. Visitors should be prepared for distances between settlements when traveling through the area.
The territory has a remarkably sparse population relative to its land area, making it one of the most sparsely settled districts in the region. This offers visitors insight into the reality of thinly populated Siberian landscapes.
