history
Abdulino was first mentioned in 1795; the place name goes back to a former village elder named Abdullah Jakupow, who must have belonged to one of the Turkic peoples settled in this area . Initially the village was called Abdulowo and had only 37 souls, since 1811 the place has its current name.
Abdulino only achieved significant economic importance at the end of the 19th century with the construction of the railway line from Samara to Ufa . The now easily accessible location triggered a growth in population and industry; In 1895, a factory for processing buckwheat was established in the village, and a short time later, other operations for processing agricultural products followed. In 1923 Abdulino received city rights.
