Novosheshminsky District (Russian: Новошешминский райо́н; Tatar: Яңа Чишмә районы) is an territorial administrative unit and municipality of the Republic of Tatarstan within the Russian Federation. The district is located in the center of the republic and covers a total area of 1315 square kilometers (or 507.7 sq miles). According to the 2010 census, the municipality had a population of 14,179. The administrative center, the “selo” (village) of Novosheshminsk, houses 32.2% of the district's total population.[3]
A settlement on the site of modern Novosheshminsk first appeared in historical records in the early 17th century. In 1652-1656, during the construction of the old Zakamskaya fortification line along the Sheshma River, the Novosheshminsky fortress was built. Until 1920, the village was the center of a volost bearing the same name within the Chistopolsky county ([uyezd]) of the Kazan province. From 1920 to 1930 the village was part of the Chistopolsky canton of the Tatar ASSR. The Novosheshminsky district was first established in August 1930. Due to administrative reforms, it was abolished in 1963, and reestablished again in April 1983.[4]
