Evenkiysky District (Russian: Эвенки́йский райо́н, Evenki: Эведы район, romanized: Evedy rayon), or Evenkia (Russian: Эвенкия),[11] is an administrative[1] and municipal[9] district (raion), one of the forty-three in Krasnoyarsky Krai, Russia. Before 1 January 2007, it was split into three different districts - Baykitsky, Ilimpiyskiy and Tungussko-Chunsky - as the Evenk Autonomous Okrug—a federal subject (an autonomous okrug) of Russia.

It is located in the central and eastern parts of the krai and borders with Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District in the north, the Sakha Republic and Irkutsk Oblast in the east, Kezhemsky, Boguchansky, Motyginsky, and Severo-Yeniseysky Districts & Yeniseysky District in the south, and with Turukhansky District in the west. The area of the district is 763,200 square kilometers (294,700 sq mi).[citation needed] Its administrative center is the rural locality (a settlement) of Tura.[1]

Population: 16,253 (2010 Census);[7] 17,697 (2002 Census);[12] 24,409 (1989 Census).[13] The population of Tura accounts for 34.1% of the district's total population.[7]

Geography

River Arga-Sala, the largest tributary of the Olenyok, has its sources in the district. Lake Yessey and Suringda are among of the largest in the area.[14][15] The southeastern coast of Lake Vivi is a geographical center of Russia.[citation needed]
