Staraya Kulatka

Staraya Kulatka lies on the Kulatka River in the country west of the Volga, southwest of Syzran. At the turn of the eighteenth century Tatar service people received lands in this region as the Russian state extended its frontier settlements. In 1718 the murza Biktimer Suncheleyev and his companions were allotted arable land, hay meadows and sites for their households. Their settlement formed part of the enduring Tatar village landscape of the district.
