Etymology

History

It was founded in 1980 as a settlement supporting the construction of the Bashkir nuclear power plant. It was granted town status in 1991.

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as the town of republic significance of Agidel—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the town of republic significance of Agidel is incorporated as Agidel Urban Okrug.[2]
