The first mention of settlements in the region dates back to the 17th century. The Bavlinsky District was formed as part of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic on August 10, 1930. In 1963 the territories of the district were transferred to Bugulminsky District. Two years later, the Bavlinsky District was reestablished as a separate administrative unit. The administrative center was the village of Bavly.[4]

Geography

The district borders the Bugulma, Yutazinsky, the Republic of Bashkortostan (Yermekeyevsky, Tuimazinsky districts, the Oktyabrsky city district), the Orenburg region (Northern and Abdulinsky districts).[4]

The district's total area is 1222.85 km², of which 913.28 km² is arable land. Chernozems and calcareous soils are widespread.[4]

Coat of arms and flag

The coat of arms of the Bavlinsky District was approved by the Decision of the Municipal Council on October 13, 2006. It is made in the form of a shield, crossed by a narrow silver belt on a green and red field. In the center there is a tulip flower with a golden border, inside of which there is an infinity sign, completed with a golden half of a lily. Three golden spikes and three black fountains continue from the flower. Above them are the green mountains and the rising sun.[5]

Each element of the coat of arms has its own meaning. For instance, a silver belt with a figured rafter is made in the form of a kokoshnik and symbolizes the Slavic culture and peoples. On the other hand, a tulip signifies the unity of Tatarstan and Russia, golden ears and black fountains refer to the resources of the region, and the rising sun refers to the region's belonging to the southeastern part of the Republic of Tatarstan.[5]

The flag of the Bavlinsky region is rectangular in shape and is formed with two equally sized horizontal stripes - green and red, in the middle of which there are figures from the coat of arms.[6]

History

Becoming

The first settlement on the territory of the present Bavlinsky district appeared in 1626. Its inhabitants lived in dugouts, traces of which have been preserved on the western bank of the Latiip River. It is believed that the pioneers - Yrys, Karman, Bibuldy - received official permission from Tsar Alexis of Russia to settle these territories in 1658. At the end of the 18th century, there were 34 households in Bavly with a population of about 200 people. On the whole the settlers largely consisted of Bashkirs and Yasak Tatars. These early settlers largely engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, and trade. By the end of the 19th century, the number of farms in the settlement had increased to 274, and the Bavlinskaya volost consisted of eight adjacent villages.[7]

From 1850 to 1920 the territory of the region belonged to the Bugulma district of the Samara Governorate. From 1920 to 1930 it was a part of the Bugulma canton of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (TASSR). The districts were formed as independent administrative entities within the TASSR on August 10, 1930. As a result of the major territorial reform in 1965 initiated by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the territories of Bavlinsky district were transferred to Bugulminsky District, but already on January 12, 1965, the Bavlinsky district would be reestablished with the village of Bavly as its administrative center.[8]

Oil Industry
Well 1, 2008

A new stage in the development of the region began in September 1946, when Devonian oil fields were discovered on Mount Gali. In the same year, 1,300 tons of oil were produced from well No. 1 and delivered to the state. A year later, oil began to be produced on an industrial scale. For this reason, the Bavlinsky oil field was created and in the spring of 1948 two more wells were put into operation. In 1950, the Bavlyneft trust was established on the basis of the oil field.[9][10]

In 1966, the well was mothballed, the site was landscaped and a memorial plaque was installed. Oil production was restored there only on June 5, 2007.[11]

The development of the oil industry contributed to the active growth of agriculture in the region. It also had an impact on the development of infrastructure that led to the influx of workers from all over the country. On September 18, 1997, Bavly was given the status of a city of federal subject significance by a decree of the State Council of the Republic.[12][9]

Population

As of 2020, 34 479 people resided in the district. Of them, 22,157 live in urban settlements and 12,322 reside in rural areas. The ethnic composition of the district population consists of Tatars, Russians, Chuvash, Udmurt and representatives of other nationalities.[13]

Most of these entitites were formed after the discovery of the Bavlinskoye oil field in 1946 and became one of the first oil and gas production departments in the republic. Due to further geological investigations, the total area of the field has drastically increased. Nowadays it is one of the largest in the country and contains around 100-1000 million tons of oil reserves.[18][19][20]
