Agryzsky District (Russian: Агрызский райо́н; Tatar: Әгерҗе районы) is a territorial administrative unit and municipality of the Republic of Tatarstan within the Russian Federation. The district is located in the northeast of the republic on the bank of the Izh River and occupies an area of 1796.6 square kilometers (about 693.6 sq mi). According to the 2010 census, the municipality had a population of 36,848. The main city of Agryz accounts for 52.7% of the district's total population and is located 304 km east of Kazan and 36 km from Izhevsk.[3]
The settlement of Agryz first appeared in historical records in 1646. After the suppression of Pugachev's uprising in 1775, Agryz became part of the Sarapulsky county (uyezd) within the Vyatka province. In 1914-1915, a railway connecting Kazan with the Urals was built near the Agryz settlement. Since the founding of the railway station, Agryz has become one of the largest railway hubs in the region. The Agryzsky district was first formed in 1924. In 1963, the district's territory was included in the Yelabuga agricultural region, but a year later Agryz would be restored within its former borders.[4][5]
In September 2020, at a meeting of the Minister of Transport and Roads of Tatarstan, Agryz was selected as the site for a future international transport and logistics center. It is planned that the Agryz station will become a terminal for the export of goods to China and other countries. The project is being developed by the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Railway Transport.[6]
