Insya (Tatar: Өнсә|translit=Önsä; Russian: Инся) is a rural locality (a selo) in Vysokogorsky District, Tatarstan, Russia. The population was 338 as of 2010.[1]
Insya is located north of Vysokaya Gora, the district's administrative centre, and north of Kazan, the republic's capital, by road.[1] [2]
The village already existed during the period of the Khanate of Kazan.
From the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century, the village's residents belonged to the social estate of state peasants.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the village had a mosque, a mekteb, two windmills and five small shops.
Before the creation of the Tatar ASSR in 1920, it was part of Kazansky Uyezd of Kazan Governorate. From 1920, it was part of Arsk Canton; after the creation of districts in the Tatar ASSR (Tatarstan), it was located in Dubyazsky (1930–1963), Zelenodolsky (1963–1965) and Vysokogorsky districts.[1]
