Location

Ust-Yeniseisky district was located in the south-west of the Taymyr Dolgan-Nenets AO. Along with the three other districts of the former okrug after they were merged into one, it became a part of the Taymyr Dolgan-Nenets District of Krasnoyarsk Krai. As its name suggests, its territory encompassed the mouth of the Yenisei River.

History

Ust-Yeniseisky district was created in 1930, when the Taymyr (Dolgan-Nenets) Autonomous Okrug was first created, known as the Taymyr National Okrug. In 1957, Diksonsky district separated from Ust-Yeniseisky district.

Upon the merger of Taymyr AO and Krasnoyarsk Krai on 1 January 2007, Ust-Yeniseisky district was abolished. ^[2] It now forms the western area of Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai.
