Afore the modren-day Kaimanets-Podilskyi Raion existit, a lairge portion o its current boondars wis unner the control oi ither raions, ane o which wis the Dovzhok Raion (Ukrainian: Довжоцький район), established on 7 Mairch 1923 as pairt o a admeenistrative reorganization o the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[5] The Dovzhok Raion wis ane of 16 destricts o the Kamianets Okruha[5] (at the time okruhas wur the first-level o admeenistrative diveesion o the Ukrainian SSR).
