Geography
The Komunarskyi District is named after the former Komunar factory (currently, the Zaporizhia Automobile Building Plant) which is located within the district's boundaries.

Its total area is 61 km2 (24 sq mi).[4]
History
On 6 April 1977, the Komunarskyi District was established out of a portion of the Zhovtnevyi District by a decree of the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (No.1901-ІХ).[4]
