It is located on the right bank of the Ilyok , which flows into the Psjol about 3 km north of the left .

Belaja is the administrative center of Belovsky Rajon and the seat of the rural community (selskoje posselenije) Belowski selsowet, which also includes the three villages of Ganschowka (10 km southeast), Loschakowka (2 km north) and Sindejewka (9 km south-east) as well as the two hamlets (chutor) Penski and Podol (corresponding to 10 and 11 km southeast) belong.

history

The place was created in 1664 in connection with the settlement of the area in the hinterland of the Belgorod Verhaulinie along the then southern border of Tsarist Russia , when Cossacks who were dismissed from the service settled there. The name stands in Russian for " white ", possibly in relation to Cossacks who were exempt from duties and taxes and who were so designated. From 1727 Belaja belonged to the Ujesd Sudscha of the Belgorod governorate , from 1779 to the Kursk governorate and from 1797 to the Kursk governorate . By the middle of the 19th century at the latest, Belaya was one of the largest towns in the Ujesd and as such the seat of a Volost .

With the introduction of the Rajon division, Belaja became the administrative seat of a Rajon named after him in the Belgorod Okrug (until 1930) of the Central Black Earth Oblast (Zentralno-Tschernosjomnaja oblast), from which the Kursk Oblast emerged on June 13, 1934.

During the Second World War , Belaja was captured by the German Wehrmacht at the beginning of October 1941 and recaptured by the Red Army on February 23, 1943 .

On February 1, 1963, the Rajon was temporarily dissolved and its territory was incorporated into the Sudschanski rajon, but restored on January 12, 1965.
