History
The first recorded settlement by Russians was in 1698 by ""the Tobolsk son Boyar Ivan Bobrowski and his comrades"
who built a fortification at the confluence of the Vagay River and the Gremyachey River. During the 1700s, the area attracted immigrants, from Central Russia, seeking free land and absence of serfdom.
Golyshmanovsky District was officially formed in November 1923 as part of the Ishimsky district of the Ural Region. After a brief move to Chelyabinsk region in 1934 and then to Omsk Oblast for 1934-1944, the district was finally transferred to Tymen Oblast in 1944.
