History

Until October 27, 1924, it was one of 5 district shuros in the Turkmen region of the Khorezm People's Soviet Republic (KPSR).

In July 1930, when Tashauz District was abolished, it became directly subordinate to the government of the Turkmen SSR. In February 1932, the district was transferred to the restored Tashauz district.

In November 1939, when the Tashauz district was reabolished, the district was transferred to the newly formed Tashauz region. In January 1963, the Tashauz region was abolished, thus causing Tashauz to become directly subordinate to the Turkmen SSR government.

In December 1970, the district was transferred to the restored Tashauz region. In 1992, the Tashauz district was renamed Saparmyrat Nyýazow District (in honor of Saparmurat Niyazov) and became part of Dashoguz.
