History
The district was formed initially as Vishnevsky, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Karaganda Regional Executive Committee of February 10, 1935 as a result of the unbundling of the Akmola and Telman districts of the Karaganda region. The administrative center of the district was the village of Vishnevka (now the village of Arshaly).
By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Kazakh SSR of October 14, 1939, Vishnevsky district was transferred to the newly formed Akmola region.
By the Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated November 14, 1997 No. 3759 "On renaming certain administrative-territorial units of the Akmola region and changing their transcription" Vishnevsky district was renamed Arshalynsky district.
