The Tukayevsky district was created in 1930 as Naberezhnye Chelninsky in honor of the administrative center of Naberezhnye Chelny. The word “chelny” comes from the transliteration of the Turkic word “chaly” (mountain, slope or bare hill) into the Russian “cheln” (boat). Until 1920, the territory of the Tukayevsky district was part of the Menzelinsky uyezd of the Ufa Governorate. In 1920 the district became part of the newly formed Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1976 the district was renamed to Tukaevsky.[12]
