The territory of the municipality occupies 4,270.8 hectares, including an area of ​​agricultural land of 3266 hectares.

younger than able-bodied - 129 people.

able-bodied - 277 people.

older than able-bodied - 102 people.

The rural settlement was formed in 1670.

The history of this village has several versions. One of them is connected with a man named Kulga. According to old-timers, a participant in the Razinsky uprising, fearing reprisals from the tsarist government, settled by the river (now the Kulegash River) in the forest, along with his family 15 km north of Kama. By nationality, he was a Mari and his name was Kulga (Kolga in Mari). Hence the name of the village Kulegash (Kolegesh). "Yesh" - in translation into Russian - family. Literally translated into Russian means "Kulgi family." In Russian, the name of the village sounds a little different - Kulegash.

Residents of Kulegash faced great difficulties. A lot of work had to be done to build housing to uproot the forest, to plow the land for sowing. In agriculture, a three-field crop rotation system prevailed, using backward agricultural machinery (plow), so yields were poor. Widespread development was fishing and hunting for fur animals.

The village was divided between two parts. Baptized Mari lived on one side, unbaptized on the other. Residents had household plots, but small. Earth was given only to men. The village did not belong to the landowners, there was a village headman, a village clerk. Residents paid taxes, those who could not pay, took away by force. Often merchants came to Kulegash from Drunken Bora and took fur, bread, and animal products from the Mari for nothing.

With the development of capitalism in agriculture in the countryside, the process of stratification of peasants into kulaks, middle peasants and poor is accelerated.

The establishment of Soviet power was carried out mainly by peaceful means.

In April 1918, White-Czech troops occupied the village of Volkovo. The Reds stood in the village of Kulegash and a battle broke out between them, as a result, the White retreated towards Kamenny Klyuch, but the Reds, feeling the superiority of the Whites, were forced to retreat west. White could not stay long in our places. At the end of October 1918 they retreated under the onslaught of the 245th Smolensk Regiment of the 28th Azin Division.

In April 1919, harsh times again came along the road, from the east came the 400 thousandth army of Kolchak. The White Guards advanced from Bima. In the summer of 1919, the Kolchak hordes began to suffer defeats on all fronts, it became obvious that the complete defeat of Kolchak was not far off. Soviet power in the village was restored.

The young Soviet republic was surrounded by a tight ring of enemies. Devastation and famine reigned in the country. There wasn’t enough food, coal, kerosene, and railway transport worked intermittently.

On the recommendation of the Kazan Provincial Committee of the party, a group of St. Petersburg workers (M.P. Shakhunov and others) arrived in the village of Krasny Bor to help the food detachments of the Elabuga canton in sending food to the Red Army, Moscow, and Petrograd. Relying on the poor, organized in comrades, they began to seize bread from fists and speculators. The chairman of the committee of the poor at that time was Samutov Iserge. The committee members walked around the villages and organized the collection of eggs, millet, peas, crackers, shag and were taken to Krasny Bor for shipment to Yelabuga. Weekdays came again. The situation on the fronts was still menacing. There were bloody battles on the Southern and Western fronts. Sick and wounded Red Army soldiers began to arrive in Pyaniy Bor more often.

The internal enemy is not asleep. The armpits are insolent, increasingly threatening reprisals against Komsomol members. Formed in 1919, the Bima Volga Executive Committee of the Party (located in the house of Izhboldin Kuzma) decides to arm all communists and Komsomol members and establish duty on the village council.

In 1920, on the instructions of the Elabuga branch of the RCP (b), V. N. Guryev, the chairman of the Pyanoborsky party cell, organized the Pianoborsky district committee of the RCP (b), V. N. Guryev was elected its secretary.

The district committee led five volosts: Pianoborsky, Kuchukovsky, Salaushsky, Chekaldinsky and including Bimsky, which included the village of Kulegash.

After the Civil War ended, our country began economic construction, which was hampered by a terrible famine. In 1921, canteens were organized for children to save them from starvation. In Kulegash there were two of them: the so-called "Russian dining room" in the house of S. Semenov and the "American dining room" in the house of Ishtimanov Ishim.

In December 1929, Comrade Comrade arrived from Krasny-Bor. Apyshev is an employee of the GPU, with the aim of organizing a collective farm. The collective farm was given the name Kommunar, and Petrov Trofim Ippolitovich became its first chairman.

Having resettled in the farm in 1926-27 (such as "Uzhara", "Borodino", "Isener"), part of the peasants began to return with their buildings in the village of Kulegash, the village of Kam-Klyuch. Great agitation and mass work in the organization of the collective farm and in the development of new technology was played by the Komsomol members. The first Komsomol organization in Kulegash was organized in 1924.

In the years 1927-28, telephone communication was made from Krasny Bor, which facilitated the work of the Komsomol organization and the Village Council.

In 1937, the first radio was installed in the Village Council building, and two years earlier the first car was received and Subaev Sibat became the first driver.

June 22, 1941 the Great Patriotic War began. 64 defenders of the Motherland went to the front from Kulegash, they took away the best horses and much more. A little over 100 workers remained in the village, mainly women, old people and children, on whom the whole burden of the labor front fell.

The war is over. It was necessary to revive the national economy, strengthen collective farms, and heal wounds. The people of our village, as if continuing their “offensive” on the labor front, together with the returning war veterans, were engaged in collective farm production. In 1950, the Kulegash village council united the villages of Kulegash, Kam-Klyuch, Baytuganovo and Ozhbuy. In 1962, the center of the Village Council was moved to the village of Volkovo and the Village Council became known as Volkovsky, and in 1978 it was again transferred to the village of Kulegash.

In March 2006, by the decision of the general meeting of citizens, Kulegash SKHPK joined the Ak Bars Bank holding company.

At present, Kulegash has the status of a village. The status and boundaries of a rural settlement are established by the Law of the Republic of Tatarstan dated January 31, 2005 No. 14-ЗРТ “On Establishing the Borders of Territories and the Status of the Municipal Formation“ Agryz Municipal District and Municipal Units in Its Composition ” ^[2] .
