history

The village has been known since 1736 and was probably founded between 1732 and 1735 in an area populated by Bashkirs . The name is accordingly in the Turkic language ; Until the 20th century, the forms Kunschak or Kunsak were in use in Russian , in Bashkir, in addition to today's Qonşaq, also Könşəq ( Көншәк ).

After the Bashkir ASSR was founded on March 23, 1919, Kunashak and the surrounding area belonged to the canton of Argayash of the Bashkir ASSR, an enclave within what was then the Ural region. In 1930 Kunaschak became the administrative seat of an independent canton. From the establishment of the Chelyabinsk Oblast on January 17, 1934, the canton was transferred to the Chelyabinsk Oblast as part of the Bashkir national circle Argajasch; the national circle existed for only a few months, and on November 17, 1934 the Kunaschakski rajon was spun off as an ordinary Rajon with an administrative center in Kunaschak.
