Shebekinsky District, Municipal district in Belgorod Oblast, Russia
Shebekinsky District is a municipal area in southern Belgorod Oblast with the town of Shebekino serving as its main center. The region contains a network of rural villages and settlements alongside urban infrastructure.
The district was established in 1928 and originally belonged to Kursk Oblast before being transferred to Belgorod Oblast in 1954. This administrative reorganization connected it to its present regional structure.
The rural communities practice traditional farming and celebrate seasonal festivals that tie residents to the rhythm of agricultural life. These customs shape how people interact with their land and each other throughout the year.
Most services and administration are based in Shebekino town, which serves as the main hub for the area. Traveling between settlements requires planning, as rural parts have limited local facilities and services.
The district contains fifteen distinct rural communities, some with names written in multiple languages. This linguistic variation in place names reflects the administrative complexity woven into the region's structure.
