History
The district was established on 10 June 1929 by a decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK) of the RSFSR, as part of the Vyatka Okrug within the Nizhny Novgorod Krai. Since 1934, the district was part of Kirov Krai, and from 1936 onward, part of Kirov Oblast.

Why this record matters
“Falyonsky District” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Falyonsky, District and human provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2220468. Authority coordinates are 58.357, 51.593. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2002, 1989 and 1929.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
