The terrain is flat or slightly hilly, with pine-larch forests (southern taiga) covering much of the district. The terrain is flat to slightly hilly, with a glacier-formed landscape of moraines, swamps, and lakes. The Mera River runs south to the Volga. Ostrovsky District is 50 km east of the regional city of Kostroma, and about 360 km northeast of Moscow. The area measures 65 km (north-south), and 55 km (west-east); total area is 2,446 km2 (about 4% of Kostroma Oblast). The administrative center is the town of Ostrovskkoye.[2]

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.
