The whole area of the district belongs to the drainage basin of the Volga. The areas in the north and the east of the district belong to the drainage basin of the Korozhechna River. The source of the Korozhechna lies in the northwestern part of the district. The rivers in the center and the west of the district drain into the Kashinka River. The Kashinka crosses the district from the west to the east, and, in particular, Kesova Gora is located on its banks. Finally, minor areas in the south of the district belong to the basin of the Medveditsa River. The Korozhechna, the Kashinka, and the Medveditsa are left tributaries of the Volga.

History[]

In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the area was included into Ingermanland Governorate (known since 1710 as Saint Petersburg Governorate), but in 1727 it was transferred to Moscow Governorate. In 1775, Tver Viceroyalty was formed from the lands which previously belonged to Moscow and Novgorod Governorates. The western part of the current area of the district, including Kesova Gora, was split between Bezhetsky and Kashinsky Uyezds of Tver Viceroyalty. In 1796, Tver Viceroyalty was transformed into Tver Governorate. On October 3, 1927 Kashinsky Uyezd was abolished and split between Bezhetsky and ; the area of the district which previously belonged to Kashinsky Uyezd, was transferred to Bezhetsky Uyezd.[11] The eastern part of the current area of the district was in 1777 transferred to newly established , since 1796 Yaroslavl Governorate.
