Кощхьэблэ район) is an administrative and a municipal district ("raion"), one of the seven in the Republic of Adygea, Russia, located in the eastern portion of the Republic and borders with Kurganinsky District of Krasnodar Krai in the north and north-east, Labinsky District of Krasnodar Krai in the east, Mostovsky District of Krasnodar Krai in the south, Maykopsky District in the west, and Shovgenovsky District in the north-west.

[http://gov.karelia.ru/Karelia/569/28.html "Далёкая и близкая Адыгея"] ru icon] Its administrative center is the village ("aul") of Koshekhabl.

The name "Koshekhablsky" is derived from the Circassian words "Kosho" (a Shapsug family name) and "Habl" (meaning "neighborhood").

History

Koshekhablsky District was established within Azov-Black Sea Krai on December 31, 1934 as a result of the downsizing of the Krai's districts. On December 7, 1956, the district was enlarged as portions of abolished Shovgenovsky District were merged into it. However, as the enlargment policy did not prove effective, the district was restored in its previous borders on March 21, 1958. On February 1, 1963, Koshekhablsky District was abolished and merged into newly created Shovgenovsky Rural District. As the new system of rural districts turned out to be ineffective as well, Koshekhablsky District was re-instated in its pre-1963 borders on January 12, 1965.cite book
