Chunsky District

Chunsky District is an administrative division in Irkutsk Oblast that encompasses a large territory with several urban and rural settlements. The area consists of a mix of smaller towns and villages connected across the region.

The area was established as an administrative district in 1953 when Irkutsk Oblast reorganized its territorial divisions. This formation was part of a broader restructuring of regional boundaries during that period.

The district maintains both urban and rural settlements, where local communities preserve regional traditions through various municipal formations and social structures.

Visitors to the region will find road connections between the administrative center and surrounding villages. The best time to explore is during warmer months when roads are more passable.

The district experienced a significant demographic shift, with population numbers decreasing from 50,037 in 1989 to 27,851 in 2021.
