Khovrino District (Russian: райо́н Хо́врино) is an administrative district (raion), one of the sixteen in Northern Administrative Okrug of the federal city of Moscow, Russia.[1] It is located along the Likhoborka River. The area is 5.727km2[2] As of the 2010 Census, the total population of the district was 80,792.
The name of the district comes from that of a former village, known since the 15th century as an estate of a Surozh prince Stefan Gabras nicknamed "Khovra" (hence the name). In the late 19th century, Khovrino was owned by the Grachyov family of manufacturers. In 1960, Khovrino was engulfed by Moscow.
As a municipal division, it is incorporated as Khovrino Municipal Okrug.[3]
