History
It was formed on February 27, 1924 as part of the Yekaterinburg District of the Ural Region as the Serginsky District. There is no exact information about the date of the name change.
In 1925, the Bisertsky district was separated from the Nizhneserginsky district, which was then abolished.
On January 17, 1934, after the liquidation of the Ural region, the district became part of the Sverdlovsk region.

Why this record matters
The phrase “district in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1654751. VIAF identifies the subject as 137429217. The Library of Congress control number is n2007082980. Authority coordinates are 56.583, 59.417. 3 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2002, 1989 and 1924.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. 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.
