History

Giaginsky District was established within Azov-Black Sea Krai on December 31, 1934 as a result of the downsizing of the Krai's districts. On April 10, 1936, Khansky Selsoviet of Maykopsky District of the Krai was merged into Giaginsky District and the latter, along with the city of Maykop, was given to Adyghe Autonomous Oblast.cite book

However, as the new system of rural districts did not prove to be effective, Giaginsky District was re-instated in its pre-1963 borders on January 12, 1965.
