Sherbakulsky District (Russian: Шербаку́льский райо́н) is an administrative and municipal district (raion), one of the thirty-two in Omsk Oblast, Russia. It is located in the southwest of the oblast on the border with Kazakhstan. The area of the district is 2,300 square kilometers (890 sq mi). Its administrative center is the urban locality (a work settlement) of Sherbakul. Population: 21,342 (2010 Census);25,486 (2002 Census);29,906 (1989 Census). The population of Sherbakul accounts for 32.7% of the district's total population.
The territory of what is now Sherbakulsky District was a part of the Kazakh Khanate until 1718, when, after the death of Tauke Khan, the khanate broke apart and Cossack units moving south from Russia occupied the area. In the 1890s, these former Kazakh grazing lands were opened for settlement. In 1893, the first settlement was established at Borisovka by Russian and Ukrainian settlers. In 1895, German settlers established Krasnoyarka, and in 1896—Maksimovka.
Modern Sherbakulsky District was created on October 14, 1924 as part of the Soviet reorganization of the oblast structure under the State Division of Soviet Middle Asian Republics.
As an administrative division, the district is divided into one work settlement (Sherbakul) and nine rural okrugs (Alexandrovsky, Babezhsky, Borisovsky, Izyumovsky, Krasnoyarsky, Kutuzovsky, Maksimovsky, Slavyansky, and Yekaterinoslavsky) comprising thirty-seven rural localities.
