Ulukulevo

Ulukulevo stands beside the lake from which it takes its name, on hereditary lands of the Bishaul-Tabyn Bashkirs. Its first settlers included Mishars and service Tatars who were admitted by the landholders under agreements recorded in 1752 and 1760. The village grew as a separate settlement on these lands. Its history reflects the arrangements through which newcomers came to live among the established Bashkir landholding communities of the southern Urals.
