The Vyselki District was established by order of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR on December 30, 1966.
The district's capital, Vyselki, was founded in 1892.
The district borders the Pavlovskaya District to the north, the Ust-Labinsk District to the south, Tbilisskaya and Tikhoretsk districts to the east and Briukovetskaya and Korenovsk districts to the west.
The capital is the Cossack town Vyselki, which is linked by a highway to the regional centre Krasnodar (90 km away), the Black Sea ports Novorossiisk (240 km away) and Tuapse (300 km away), as well as to the town of Yeisk on the Azov Sea (230 km away), and the administrative centre of the Rostov Region, Rostov on Don (200 km away).
