Bogotolsky District (Russian: Богото́льский райо́н) is an administrative and municipal district (raion), one of the forty-three in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It is located in the southwest of the krai and borders with Tyukhtetsky District in the north, Bolsheuluysky District in the southeast, Achinsky District in the east, Nazarovsky and Sharypovsky Districts in the south, and with Kemerovo Oblast in the west. The area of the district is 2,924 square kilometers (1,129 sq mi). Its administrative center is the town of Bogotol (which is not administratively a part of the district). Population: 11,267 (2010 Census); 12,415 (2002 Census);14,978 (1989 Census).
The history of the district dates back to the formation of the settlement of Bogotolsky (modern Bogotol); presumably, in 1703. In the 17th century, the territory of what is now Bogotolsky District was settled by the Turkic tribes (Chulym Tatars). The name "Bogotol" (meaning a small beautiful valley) was borrowed from the language of those tribes.
Russians settled this area in the end of the 17th century. Peasants were engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding.
