Yanaul

Yanaul is first mentioned in writing in 1750 as a village whose inhabitants were chiefly Bashkir hereditary landholders. They cultivated the land, raised livestock and kept bees, while leasing some of their land to peasant newcomers. A census in 1795 counted 173 inhabitants in thirty households. The village lay in the country between the Kama and Belaya, where agreements over land brought established Bashkir communities and new settlers into close contact.
