History
The first small settlement of Russians occurred in the mid-1700s. The area at the time was on the frontier, exposed to raids by local nomadic tribes. A military fort was built in the late 1700s, extending the fortified area south. Thereafter, settlements of Russian farmers increased dramatically, drawn by the fertile soil and abundant lakes for fishing.
Kazansky District was officially formed in July 1931.
