Alexandrovsky District, Tomsk Oblast

Alexandrovsky District is a municipal district in northwestern Tomsk Oblast with varied landscapes shaped by boreal forests and wetlands. The Ob River flows through the territory, creating distinct geographical sections and influencing local geography and settlement patterns.

The district was established in 1923 as part of Tobolsk Okrug and underwent administrative reorganization several times. It transitioned through Narym Okrug before eventually becoming part of modern Tomsk Oblast.

The district maintains a population mix of 80 percent Russians, 9 percent Germans, and 4.8 percent Khant-Selkups, reflecting regional demographic patterns.

The area is best reached by air or river routes, as ground connections to nearby settlements are limited. Plan your visit during warmer months when water and air routes operate most reliably.

The district contains significant oil reserves with roughly 20 active extraction fields and substantial natural gas deposits. These resources form the backbone of the regional economy and development.
