The territory of the district includes 57 settlements and 17 rural settlements. Тhe district population was 13,415 at the beginning of 2020. The administrative center is the village of Bolshiye Kaybitsy.[1] [2]

Geography

The region is located in the west of Tatarstan. It shares borders with the Zelenodolsky, Verkhneuslonsky and Apastovskiy districts of the republic, and with Chuvashia (Urmarskiy, Yantikovskiy, Kanashskiy, Komsomolskiy and Yalchikskiy districts). The terrain of the district is a slightly elevated plain with heights of 180–220 meters. The largest river in the district is the Sviyaga. Other large rivers that flow through the district include the Kubnya, Birlya, Uryum, Biya, Cheremshan and Imelli.[3]

Coat of Arms and Flag

The coat of arms and flag of the district were approved by the decision of the representative body of the Kaybitsky municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan on December 19, 2005. Their development was carried out by the Heraldic Council under the President of the Republic. The coat of arms has a golden oak topped by a green crown. The mainstay of the economy of the district is agriculture, which is represented by the colors gold and green. The oak is a symbol of longevity, toughness, nobility, and courage. The tree also reflects the multinational composition of the district population which includes Russians, Tatars, and Chuvash among others. The shape of the green leafy crown is modeled after the form traced by the boundaries of the Kaybitsky district. The flag is based on heraldic elements of the coat of arms.[4] [5] [6] [7]

History

The territory of the district used to be located in the Sviyazhsky and Tetyushsky districts of the Kazan province until 1920. The territory then resided in the Sviyazhsky canton of the Tatar ASSR from 1920 to 1927.[8] The Ulyanovsky district with its municipal center at the village of Ulyankovo was formed on February 14, 1927. The administrative center of the district was later moved to Bolshiye Kaybitsy and the district was renamed Kaybitsky.[9] The Podberezinsky district was included in the territory on May 17, 1956. The Kaybitsky district was abolished on January 4, 1963 after the transfer of its territories to the Apastovsky district during reforms aimed at the consolidation of administrative units in the Tatar ASSR. The Kaybitsky district was reestablished on April 19, 1991.[10] [11]

The first head of the newly formed region was Khanifatullin Azat Safinovich. In 1998, he was replaced by Zavdat Rashitovich Gaffarov, who held this position until March 2012. The Kaybitsky municipal district was headed by Rakhmatullin Albert Ilgizarovich.[12] [13] [14]

Population

The ethnic composition of the district is made up primarily of Tatars who compose 67.7% of the district population, with Russians and Chuvash constituting 26.2% and 5.3% of the district population respectively.
