The destrict is locatit northeast o Loch Beloye an the aurie o the lake is dividit atween Vashkinsky an Belozersky Destricts. Hintle o the aurie o the destrict belangs tae the basin o Loch Beloye an thus o the Caspian Sea. In pairticular, the Kovzha River, ane o the main tributars o the loch, forms the wastren border o the destrict, an the Kema River, anither major tributar, crosses the destrict frae north tae sooth. Maist o the aurie o the destrict is in the Kema's drainage basin. The eastren an northeastren pairts o the destrict belang tae the basin o the Onega River, which flows tae the White Sea.

Thare are mony lochs in the destrict, the biggest o which are Loch Druzhinnoye, Loch Volotskoye, Loch Unzhinskoye, an Loch Pushtorskoye, aw belangin tae the basin o Loch Beloye.

Accordin tae the Primary Chronicle, Sineus, a brither o Rurik, became the prince o Beloozero in 862. Housomeivver, it is likely that Sineus niver existit. Nivertheless, the airchaeological data show that the dounset existit till the 10t century on the northren shore o the loch, close tae the selo o Kisnema (nou Troitskoye in Vashkinsky Destrict). In the 10t century, it wis transferred tae the ootflow o the Sheksna River. The aurie wis unner the influence o the Novgorod Republic an the Novgorodians uised the watterwey tae the White Sea which runs throu the current aurie o the destrict. In the 13t century, the aurie wis admeenistered bi princes o Beloozero, an then in the 14t century, it fell unner control o the Grand Duchy o Moscow.

In the course o the admeenistrative reform carriet oot in 1708 by Peter the Great, the aurie wis includit intae Ingermanland Govrenorate (kent syne 1710 as Saunt Petersburg Govrenorate). In 1727, separate Novgorod Govrenorate wis split aff. The aurie became a pairt o Belozersky Uyezd o Belozersk Oblast o Novgorod Govrenorate. In 1776, the aurie wis transferred tae Novgorod Viceryalty. In 1796, the viceryalty wis abolisht, an the aurie wis transferred tae Novgorod Govrenorate. In the 19t century, the aurie wis transferred tae Kirillovsky Uyezd.

In Juin 1918, five uyezds o Novgorod Govrenorate, includin Kirillovsky Uyezd, wur split aff tae form Cherepovets Govrenorate, wi the admeenistrative centre in Cherepovets. On 1 August 1927, Cherepovets Govrenorate wis abolisht an its aurie became Cherepovets Okrug o Leningrad Oblast. Simultaneously, the uyezds wur abolisht an Vashkinsky Destrict wis establisht. The admeenistrative centre o the destrict wis establisht in the veelage o Vashki, hence the name o the destrict. On September 23, 1937, Vashkinsky District was transferred to newly established Vologda Oblast. In 1938, the admeenistrative centre o the destrict wis muivit tae the selo o Lipin Bor.

On 1 August 1927, Kovzhinsky Destrict (wi the admeenistrative centre in the selo o Annensky Most) an Sholsky Destrict (wi the admeenistrative centre in the selo o Zubovo) wur establisht an aw. In 1937, they wur transferred frae Leningrad Oblast tae Vologda Oblast. In 1959, baith destricts wur abolisht. The aurie o Sholsky Destrict wis split atween Vashkinsky an Belozersky Destricts, an the aurie o Kovzhinsky Destrict wis split atween Vashkinsky an Vytegorsky Destricts.
