Khovrino District

Khovrino District ( _ru. Ховрино) is a district in Northern Administrative Okrug of Moscow, Russia, located along the Likhoborka River. It borders with Khimki on the west and Mikhalkovo on the south.

The name "Khovrino" comes from a former village, known since the 15th century as an estate of a Surozh merchant G.S.Safarin nicknamed "Khovra" (hence, the name). In the late 19th century, Khovrino was owned by manufacturers Grachyovs. In 1960, Khovrino was engulfed by Moscow. Administrative divisions of Moscow
