History
South-eastern part of the district has been part of Kazan from as early as XIX century. By 1910s, the neighbourhoods of Admiralteyskaya Sloboda, Yagodnaya Sloboda, Bolshoye Igumnovo, Maloye Igumnovo, Grivka and Dalneye Ustye were part of the 6th police district of Kazan.Obyedinyonno-Slobodskoy District was created as a party-territorial unit on April 19, 1919. In 1925 was renamed Zarechensky District and became an administrative district. By that time, there were 14 settlements under the district's jurisdiction: 6 aforementioned neighbourhoods, Kozya Sloboda, Kizichskaya Sloboda, Krylovka, Novaya Stroyka, Savinovskaya Stroyka, Porokhovaya Sloboda, Udelnaya Stroyka, Ivanovaskaya Stroyka; last three of them were merged into Vosstaniya Sloboda. Nearly all of them were located on the northern bank of Kazanka River, in the city part called Zarechye, hence the name of the district.
It was again renamed in 1931, this time to Proletarsky District.
In 1934, eastern part of Zarechye was ceded to newly formed Leninsky District.
The district was given its present-day name in 1935.
In mid-1950s, part of the district fell into the flooding zone of the Kuybyshev Reservoir: the entire neighbourhood of Dalneye Ustye, small parts of Admiralteyskaya Sloboda, Yagodnaya Sloboda, Bolshoye Igumnovo and Maloye Igumnovo were flooded; several enterprises were relocated from flooding zone, most notable of them being Kazan river port, which was relocated to Yaña Bistä area.
