Khotmyzhsky district

The Khotmyzhsky district was created in 1727 and became a part of the newly formed Belgorod province . The county town was the city of Khotmyzhsk (one of the fortified cities of the Belgorod line , founded in 1640 ).

In 1779 , the Belgorod province was abolished, its territory was divided between the Kursk and Orel governorates, part was transferred to the Voronezh province , and another part, including the Khotmyzh district, was assigned to the Sloboda-Ukrainian province

In 1780 , the Sloboda-Ukrainian province was transformed into Kharkiv governorate . Khotmyzhsky district was a part of the Kharkov governorship until 1796 .

In 1796, the Sloboda-Ukrainian province was restored. The lands received in 1779 from the Belgorod province were transferred to the Kursk province . The Khotmyzh district was abolished, the city of Khotmyzhsk became part of the Belgorod district of the Kursk province.

In 1802 , the Khotmyzh district was restored and became part of the Kursk province.

Khotmyzhsk gradually lost its administrative and economic importance, therefore, in 1838 , the county center was moved to the dynamically developing city of Grayvoron (formed from the state-owned settlement of the same name), which, moreover, was located at the intersection of highways. Khotmyzhsky district was renamed to Grayvoronsky . Khotmyzhsk became a contiguous city as part of the Greyvoron district and remained so until 1928 (in 1928 it lost the status of a city and was transformed into a village).
