History

Bashkirs have traditionally resided on the territory of the district. There is also a group of unique archeological burial monuments from the 14th century located in the district. These are small Muslim cemeteries characterized by stone tombstones bearing Arabic inscriptions upon them and deep grave pits as well as a pronounced Muslim ritual elements. These sites differ markedly in comparison to typical burial sites of the area, which are usually earthen burial grounds without grave structures, distinguished by simple shallow burial pits, a predominant southwestern orientation of the head of the deceased and a clear fixation with pagan remnants in early Muslim rituals. Such burials may indicate the presence of sedentary ethnic groups in the region as early as the 14th century, but no evidence of a single settlement monument or settlement has been found near these cemeteries.Шаблон:Sfn
After the Bolsheviks came to power in 1918, selsoviets and volost executive committees were formed in the districts. Until 1920, these entities were part of the Bugulma uezd of the Samara Governorate and the Menzelinsky uezd of the Ufa Governorate. From 1920 to 1930, the territory was included in the Bugulma canton of the TASSR.[4]
On July 23, 1930, all the cantons of the TASSR were abolished, and districts were formed in their place. The area of the current district was originally named Tumutuk district until October 30, 1931 when it was renamed as the Aznakaevsky district. Four years later, there was a reorganization of the districts in the region, reinstating the Tumutuk among 17 other districts. In 1958 the Tumutuk district was finally abolished and its territory was transferred to the Aznakaevsky district. The Aznakaevsky district was abolished for a period of two years in 1963 with its territory being annexed to the Almetyevsky District. On January 12, 1965, the Aznakayevsky district was finally reestablished and restored to its status as a district within its current borders.[2]Шаблон:Sfn[2]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
