Located along the federal highway (Russian: автотрасса федерального значения) R239 "Orenburgsky" Kazan - Orenburg (in Cyrillic P239 (Russian: "Оренбургский"),[9] it was founded as an oil-processing settlement 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) northwest of the Almetyevskaya railway station (79 km marker) on the Kuybyshev Railway[10][11] near Leninogorsk and the Akbash (Bugulminsky District) - Agryz railway line and was granted town status in 1953.[12]
