History
The district was founded on July 2, 1940.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Sharypovsky District is one of the forty-three in the krai. The town of Sharypovo serves as its administrative center, despite being incorporated separately as a krai town—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. The district is divided into seven selsoviets.
As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Sharypovsky Municipal District and is divided into seven rural settlements (corresponding to the administrative district's selsoviets).
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Sharypovsky District” is municipal district in Russia. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Sharypovsky, District and municipal, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “municipal district in 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 Q373878. VIAF identifies the subject as 146762794. The Library of Congress control number is n98085329. Authority coordinates are 55.533, 89.200. 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 1940.
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.
