history

The place was founded in the first half of the 18th century by resettlers from the western parts of the Russian Empire , probably in 1735. In 1827 there was a new surge of settlement.

With the passing of the railway line to Uralsk (now Oral in Kazakhstan) in the 1890s, Dergachi's economic importance grew, and from 1919 to 1923 it was briefly the administrative seat of a Ujesd in the Samara Governorate , to which it had belonged since 1851.

On July 23, 1928 Dergatschi became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him. In 1965 it was given urban-type settlement status.
