History
Teofipol Raion was first established on 7 March 1923 as part of a full-scale administrative reorganization of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
In February 1930, the raion was the centre of a quickly defeated anti-Soviet Union revolt.[https://ukrainianweek.com/History/22097 A Different Peasantry], The Ukrainian Week (6 May 2011)
On 23 February 1959, the raion was renamed to Manuilskyi Raion ({{langx|uk|Мануїльський район}}) in honor of Dmitry Manuilsky, a prominent Ukrainian Soviet politician and leader of the Ukrainian Communist Party.
Manuilskyi Raion existed up until it was dissolved in 1962. After it was dissolved, its territory was at first annexed by neighboring Volochysk and Iziaslav Raions and later by Bilohiria Raion. A decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet dated December 8, 1966 again re-established Teofipol Raion.
Subdivisions
{{See also|Administrative divisions of Khmelnytskyi Oblast}}
At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of one hromadas,{{cite web |title=Теофіпольська районна рада (состав до 2020 г.) |url=https://gromada.info/ru/region/Хмельницкая-область/Теофипольский-район/ |publisher=Портал об'єднаних громад України |language=Russian}} Teofipol settlement hromada with the administration in Teofipol.
Teofipol Raion was divided in a way that followed the general administrative scheme in Ukraine. Local government was also organized along a similar scheme nationwide. Consequently, raions were subdivided into councils, which were the prime level of administrative division in the country.
Each of the raion's urban localities administered their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction. However, only a handful of rural localities were organized into councils, which also might contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.
Accordingly, the Teofipol Raion was divided into:
- 2 settlement councils—made up of the urban-type settlements of Teofipol (administrative center) and Bazaliia
- 22 village councils
Overall, the raion had a total of 55 populated localities, consisting of two urban-type settlements, and 53 villages.
