The terrain is flat to slightly hilly, with a glacier-formed landscape of moraines, swamps, and lakes. The Mera River [ru] runs south to the Volga.

History

Ostrovsky District was originally named Semyonovsky District on its founding in 1929. At that time it was part of the Kineshma District of the Ivanovo Industrial Region. It was transferred to Kotroma Oblast in 1944, and renamed Ostrovsky District in 1948. The central town of Ostrovskoye was originally named Semenovskoe-Lapotnoe, with the new name being effected in 1956 to mark the 70th anniversary of the death of the playwright Alexander Ostrovsky.
