Yelabuzhsky District (Russian: Ела́бужский райо́н; Tatar: Алабуга районы) is a territorial administrative unit and municipality of the Republic of Tatarstan within the Russian Federation. The district is located in the north-east of the republic and occupies an area of 1362.1 square kilometers (about 525.9 sq mi). According to the 2010 census, the municipality had a population of 81,632. The main city Yelabuga is not included within the administrative structure of the district.[3]
According to archaeological records, the Yelabuga settlement was first established in the age of Volga Bulgaria, arising at the confluence where the Poima River meets the Kama. In 1236 these lands fell under the control of the Golden Horde. In the 17th century, the Tatar settlement of Alabuga was renamed as Tryokhsvyatskoye. In 1780 it received the status of a city and the name Yelabuga which became a part of the eponymous county (uyezd) within the Vyatka governorship. Since 1920, the city has been part of the Yelabuzhsky and Chelninsky cantons. The Yelabuzhsky district was first formed on August 10, 1930. Throughout the 20th century, the district’s borders have changed repeatedly.[4][3]
The “Alabuga” SEZ — the largest and most successful special economic zone dedicated to industrial and production of its type in Russia — is located in the region. The site was opened in 2005 for the development of the regional economy and attraction of investment, and as of 2020 had 65 resident companies. In 2019 investment by residents of the zone in the regional economy amounted to about 200 billion rubles.[5][6]
