The aurie o the destrict is elongatit frae north tae sooth an is split intae twa reughly equal pairts bi the divide atween the basins o the Airctic Ocean an the Caspian Sea. The aurie is dividit atween the basins o three major rivers—the Volga, the Onega, an the Northren Dvina. The northeastren pairt o the destrict includes the wastren hauf o Loch Vozhe, that Kirillovsky Destrict shares wi Vozhegodsky Destrict. The loch, an the rivers in the northren pairt o the destrict forby, belangs tae the basin o the Onega. The major tributars o the Onega athin the destrict are the Sovza an the Pereshna. The Sovza flows throu Loch Veshchozero, an the Pereshna haes its soorce in Loch Pereshnoye, that is dividit atween Kirillovsky an Ust-Kubinsky Destricts. Auries in the central-east o the destrict are in the basin o the Porozovitsa River, that belangs tae the basin o Loch Kubenskoye an o the Northren Dvina. A stretch o the wastren mairch o the destrict lees on the shore o Loch Beloye; housomeivver, nae pairt o the loch belangs tae the destrict. The rivers in the rest o the destrict drain intae the Sheksna, that wis made intae the Sheksna Reservoir. Thare are mony lochs o the destrict; amang the biggest anes (efter Loch Vozhe an the Sheksna Reservoir) are Loch Itkolskoye, Loch Siverskoye, an Lake Zaulomskoye.
The anerly naitional pairk in Vologda Oblast, Russky Sever Naitional Pairk, is locatit in Kirillovsky Destrict.
The north o the destrict, especially the auries aroond Lake Vozhe, are covered bi swamps, the biggest o whilk is the Charonda Swamp (shared wi Ust-Kubensky an Vozhegodsky Destricts an aw).
Forests occupee 67% o the destrict's territory.[4]
In the 13t century, the aurie belangit tae the Principality o Beloozero, an in the 14t century, thegither wi the rest o the principality, it became a pairt o the Grand Duchy o Moscow. In 1397, St. Cyril o White Loch, a monk an a disciple o St. Sergius o Radonezh, foondit the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery on the shore o Loch Siverskoye. The toun o Kirillov eventually developit as the posad o the monastery. In 1398, St. Therapont o White Loch, who arrivit wi Cyril, muivit tae a separate location, that later became the Ferapontov Monastery. Baith monasteries wur subordinate tae Airchbeeshops o Rostov. In the 15t an the 16t centuries, Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery developit intae ane o the maist influential monasteries in Roushie. It helpit that the Sheksna River wis ane o the maist hivily uised watterweys connectin central an northren Roushie an aw. At some pynt, the monastery wis the seicont biggest landawner efter the Trinity Lavra o St. Sergius. Vasily III, the Grand Prince o Moscow, an Ivan the Terrible, the Tsar, visitit the monastery on several occasions. In the end o the 15t century, Nil Sorsky, a umwhile monk o the monastery an a leader o nan-possessors muivement in the Roushie Orthodox Kirk, foondit the Nilo-Sorsky Monastery 15 kilometer (9.3 mi) northwast o Kirillov.
In the course o the admeenistrative reform carriet oot in 1708 bi Peter the Great, the aurie wis includit intae Ingermanland Govrenorate (kent syne 1710 as Saunt Petersburg Govrenorate). In 1727, separate Novgorod Govrenorate wis split aff. The aurie became a pairt o Charondsky Uyezd o Belozersk Oblast o Novgorod Govrenorate. In 1776, the aurie wis transferred tae Novgorod Viceryalty. Simultaneously, Kirillov wis chairtered an became the seat o Kirillovsky Uyezd. In 1796, the viceryalty wis abolisht, an the aurie wis transferred tae Novgorod Govrenorate. Kirillovsky Uyezd wis abolisht an aw; housomeivver, it wis re-establisht in 1802.
In Juin 1918, five uyezds o the Novgorod Govrenorate, includin Kirillovsky Uyezd, war split aff tae form Cherepovets Govrenorate, wi the admeenistrative centre in Cherepovets. In 1919, northwastren pairts o Kirillovsky Uyezd wur transferred intae Kadnikovsky Uyezd o Vologda Govrenorate an Kargopol Uyezd o Olonets Govrenorate. On 1 August 1927, Cherepovets Govrenorate wis abolisht, an its aurie became Cherepovets Okrug o Leningrad Oblast. Simultaneously, the uyezds wur abolisht, an Kirillovsky Destrict wis establisht. On 23 September 1937, Kirillovsky Destrict wis transferred tae newly establisht Vologda Oblast.[8]
