History

Accurate data on the time of the founding of the village of Almetyevo have not survived, however, a number of indirect evidence suggests that this event took place at the turn of the second or third decades of the 18th century. In 1840, during a survey conducted in the region, the Almetyevites informed the authorities that their village was founded 121 years ago, that is, around 1719.

The founder of the village is considered to be Mullah Almet (probably an abbreviation for Al-Muhammad, Tat. Ulmәt - l-Mөkhәmm ,t, Bashkir personal name Almet). The first mention of the village in written sources is contained in documents relating to the initial period of the uprising of 1735-1740. Among them, a letter from Mullah Almet to Colonel IN Tatishchev was preserved, in which it was reported "about the congresses and intentions" of the rebels and about their danger to the population of the Nadyrovsky volost of the Chistopol district. The letter is dated June 24, 1735 and ends with the words:

"This letter was written by me, Almet-mulla, from Zayu from the Almetev village."

In 1795, 700 Teptyars and Bashkirs lived in the village, and in 1834 there were 123 Bashkirs, 544 Teptyars. According to the materials of the audit of 1859, at 214 courtyards of the village, 1518 state peasants and Bashkirs were taken into account, as well as a mosque, a post station, a fair, bazaars and 2 factories.
