  ## History
  
  In the 1920s, the current area of the district belonged to Odessa Governorate. In 1923, uyezds in Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic were abolished, and the governorates were divided into okruhas. In 1923, Kryve Ozero Raion with the administrative center in Kryve Ozero was established. It belonged to Pervomaisk Okruha. In 1925, the governorates were abolished, and okruhas were directly subordinated to Ukrainian SSR. In 1930, okruhas were abolished, and on 27 February 1932, Odessa Oblast was established, and Kryve Ozero was included into Odessa Oblast. In February 1954, Kryve Ozero Raion was transferred to Mykolaiv Oblast.
  
  At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of one hromada, Kryve Ozero settlement hromada with the administration in Kryve Ozero.
