Vikulovsky district

Vikulovsky district is located in the north-east of the Tyumen region. From the north, east and southeast, the region borders on the Ust-Ishim, Bolsheukovsky and Krutinsky districts of the Omsk region ; from the south, west and northwest - with the Abat, Sorokinsky and Vagaysky districts of the Tyumen region. The length of the borders is 450 km. The length from north to south is 102 km, from west to east - 130 km. The area is 5800 km².

There are about a hundred lakes in the Vikulovsky district, most of which were formed from the old channels of the Ishim River . The oldest and largest lakes: Churtanskoye, Kalgan, Maryino, Bolshoi Tarnakul, Mochalo, Kileynoe. Marshes occupy approximately 22% of the area.

In the district there is a nature reserve of regional significance Vikulovsky (74,183 ha), the third largest in the south of the Tyumen region ^[5] .

Until the 20th century

The first Russians appeared in these lands just during the campaigns against the Tatars: in 1591 under the leadership of Koltsov-Masalsky and in 1607 Nazariy Izetdinov, that is, shortly after the famous campaign of the Cossacks led by Ermak in 1581-84.

From the end of the 16th century, goods were transported between Tobolsk and Tara along the left bank of the Irtysh , but subsequently a shorter route was found along the Vagay river, its right tributary Balakhley, along the tributaries of Ishim, Bolshoi Ika and Barsuk. The Ishim River turned out to be in the middle of this trade route of 600 miles, and the long overhang, the Shangin hillock, was a conspicuous place and landmark for coachmen.

The lands annexed to Russia had to be protected from raids by nomads and Tatars from the steppes of Kazakhstan, and therefore the first defensive line, Staro-Ishimskaya, was built quite quickly. During the period of reconnaissance and construction of the defensive line, the archers were looking for a convenient place for huts on the Shangin hill, so maybe the military founded Vikulovo. After improving the protection of the Russian population from nomads, agricultural development of the Lower Priishimye began, and with the emergence of confidence in the population among the population, the influx of Russians increased.

In 1854, 1856 and 1859, there were very high floods on the Ishim River in the spring with flooding of villages in the valley. During these floods, the Ishim River straightened its channel along the Upper Meadow, and a very winding and long (28 km) Vikulovskaya old woman was formed from the old channel. Thus, the river separated from the main part of the settlement to a dozen manors (Kaygorodov, Prokopyev, Checherov and others) on the Shangin hill. Subsequently, the separated residents moved to the main part of the village. So Shangin Bugor ceased to be inhabited, where today you can see a monument to the founders of the Vikulov settlement ^[16] .
