Komsomolsky district (Khabarovsk Territory)

Komsomolsky district is located in the central part of the Khabarovsk Territory . The total area of ​​the district is 25,230 km². The region borders on the Solar region in the north, with Ulchi in the east, with Vaninsky in the southeast, with Nanaisk in the south, and with Amur in the west. It has no access to the sea. The area refers to areas equated to areas of the Far North .

The district occupies the right- and left-bank of the Amur River, by the nature of the relief it can be divided into two parts - the lowlands of the floodplain of the Amur River and its tributaries and elevations, approaching the right and left banks of the Amur. The mountain spurs of the Sikhote-Alin system approach the right bank of the Amur; in some places they move away from the coast, giving way to the lowland plains of the floodplain. The relief of the left bank of the Amur River and the lower part of the basin of its tributary Gorin has a more complex character - low flat tops are widespread here.

Active settlement of the Amur region began in the middle of the XIX century. Then, on the banks of the Amur River, in search of a better share, Cossacks, fishing people, and farmers from the central provinces of Russia reached out. The new places rich in animals and fish did not disappoint the settlers. In the vicinity of Nanai and Oroch, Russian villages grew rapidly, most often named in memory of their old homeland: Srednetambovskoye , Perm , Verkhnetambovskoye . ^[four]
