The first settlements on the territory of the modern Vysokogorsky district date back to the 12th century and were initially subjects of Volga Bulgaria. The remains of some of these settlements survive to the present day and are sites of cultural heritage in the Republic.[6][7]
Industrial and agricultural complexes are well developed in the district with three industrial sites having already been created. Another industrial park is planned to be put into operation in 2021.[5][8][9]
