city lake and the park adjacent to it were reconstructed and ennobled in

Initially, the name Gar, associated with slash-and-burn agriculture, later a more "beautiful" name, Green Dol, appeared. In 1932 the village was transformed into the city of Zelenodolsk.
Zelenodolsk is located on the left
bank of the Volga, 38 km from Kazan. Zelenodolsk district, which
includes the city, borders on the Chuvash Republic and the Republic
of Mari El.
Zelenodolsk is the second most important subject
of the Kazan agglomeration, the Capital Economic Region of Tatarstan
and the Kazan-Zelenodolsk territorial-industrial hub, as well as the
fifth most populous city in Tatarstan after Kazan, Naberezhnye
Chelny, Nizhnekamsk and Almetyevsk.
The city has close
agglomeration ties with Volzhsk (despite the fact that the latter is
part of another subject of the Russian Federation, the Republic of
Mari El), located 12 km west of Zelenodolsk.
Zelenodolsk is
not a city with a compact territory - some of its parts are quite
remote from the center and others, and the terrain between them
sometimes has a difficult relief. The city does not yet have a wide
and convenient exit to the Volga, although formally it stretches
along it for 9 kilometers. Zelenodolsk is conditionally divided into
three parts: the old part of the city, the Mirny microdistrict and
the industrial zone, where industrial enterprises are mainly
concentrated (the lower part of the city).
The
city arose on the site of the Mari village of Porat, which is part
of the Bolsheparatskaya hundred. In 1865, it was referred to as the
village of Kabachishchi (after the name of the plot of arable land
of the Paraty peasants "Kabachischenskie glades"). Since 1897, the
village was called Paratsky Zaton (Paratsk), and since 1928 - the
working village of Zeleny Dol. In 1932 it was transformed into the
city of Zelenodolsk.
Since the end of the 19th century, the
backwater has become a place for wintering and repairing river
vessels, which marked the beginning of the Zelenodolsk shipyard (now
the Zelenodolsk Gorky Shipyard).
As a result of the rise in
the water level of the Kuibyshev reservoir and flooding of the
coastal zone, during the construction of the Kuibyshev hydroelectric
power station, the coastline has changed a lot.
On July 16,
1958 Zelenodolsk became the center of the Zelenodolsk region.
Now the largest public-private investment project is being
implemented to create by 2025 within the agglomeration on the
territory of 3.64 thousand hectares along the M7 highway between
Zelenodolsk and Kazan a new satellite city "Green Dol" with an
estimated population of 100 (hereinafter - 157) thousand people,
housing stock 4.1 million m2, the cost of construction 140 billion
rubles. with predominantly low-rise, turning into multi-storey
buildings from the planned Zelenodolsk microdistrict "Volzhskaya
Venice" on alluvial semi-boggy lands near Aisha and further through
Orekhovka, where a zone of individual cottage construction is
already being developed, in the direction to the Kazan village of
Zalesny, which makes it possible in the future to join Zelenodolsk
to Kazan.
The climate is temperate continental, similar to the climate of Kazan. The city is located in the temperate climate zone.

times, large buses LiAZ-677 and medium-sized LAZ-695 were widespread in
