The smallest of Zaporizhzhia's seven urban districts, the district has an area of 11.2 square kilometres (4.3 sq mi), making up approximately 3.35% of the total administrative area of Zaporizhzhia. The district is located fully on the left (east) side of the Dnieper river.[4]
The district was founded in 1935 as Zhovtnevya district.[4] Following the passage of decommunization laws, in 2016, the district, along with numerous streets, were renamed to their current names. Some of the new street names adopted within the district include Pavel Zakharin St., Malinova St., Zoryana St., Pryhodska St., Akademik Amosov St., Akademik Chabanenko St, Bazarna St, and Dniprovska St..[5]
