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.
Since 1920, as part
of the Bugulma canton of the Tatar ASSR, since August 10, 1930 it
has been a regional center.
