It was established for the first time by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR of April 20, 1939 as Mikoyanovsky City District (Микоя́новский райо́н) and abolished together with the other two city districts on June 2, 1948.^[5] All three city districts, including Mikoyanovsky, were created again on June 23, 1951.^[5]

The work settlement of Nagornovsky and its settlement soviet were transferred from Kolsky District to the administrative jurisdiction of Murmansk City Soviet by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR of August 5, 1953.^[5]
