History

The district was established on December 10, 1930 as an administrative division of Yamal (Nenets) National Okrug. At the time, the administrative center of the district was the '' selo'' of Khe. On May 23, 1931, the district was subdivided into two selsoviets: Nydo-Nadymsky and Yavaysko-Gydansky. The latter was renamed Maloyamalsky in 1935. As of January 1, 1936, the administrative center of the district was the village of Nyda (the date on which the administrative center was changed is unknown). On January 24, 1968, Nydo-Nadymsky Selsoviet was renamed Norinsky. On February 11, 1971 Nadymsky Selsoviet was formed on the territory of the district. On March 9, 1972, the settlement of Nadym was granted town status and became the new administrative center of the district. At the same time, Nadymsky Selsoviet was abolished. On October 12, 1976 Maloyamalsky Selsoviet was renamed Nydinsky.
