History

The uezd was established in 1802.[citation needed]

On an 1845 Russian map, the uezd is shown as being named Makhnovka uyezd, with its administrative center in Makhnivka. After further developments in the railroad that changed its path to favor Berdychiv, the importance of Makhnivka declined. The uezd center was moved to Berdychiv, and the uezd was renamed to Berdichev uezd.[1]

It was abolished in 1923.[citation needed]
