History
editIn 1824 the tsar Alexander I visited the deposit Tashkutargan which was later named the «Tsarevo-Alexander gold-field» in his honour. They say that following his accompanies’ advice he went down to the mine, got 22 poods of sand and «discovered» a nugget weighing more than three kilograms and took it as a souvenir. The Tsarevo-Alexander gold-field gave 6,400 kg of gold within 18 years. Nikifor Sutkin, a serf, found the largest nugget of gold weighing 36 kg. It was sent to St. Petersburg. Now it is known as the «Large Triangle» and kept in the Diamond Fund of the former Soviet Union.[10]
The district was established in 1930.[2]

As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Uchalinsky Municipal District, with the town of republic significance of Uchaly being incorporated within it as Uchaly Urban Settlement.[8] Its eighteen selsoviets are incorporated as eighteen rural settlements within the municipal district.[8] The town of Uchaly serves as the administrative center of the municipal district as well.[8]
