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).

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Nadymsky District”, the useful work is to connect “municipal district in Russia” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q977071. Authority coordinates are 65.533, 72.517. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2002, 1989 and 1930.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
