This category brings together articles about the eight official districts of Nizhny Novgorod — the administrative units into which the city is divided. Each district has its own character: the Nizhegorodsky District preserves historic wooden buildings, the Avtozavodsky District grew up around the largest automobile plant, Sormovo (disambiguation) is tied to a long industrial history, and Kanavino is the part of the city across the river with a fairground past. Together the districts form the complete administrative map of Nizhny Novgorod on both banks of the Oka and the Volga.
